Trusting God thru His Promises
The purpose of 1Sam is to record
the life of Samuel, Israel’s last judge;
the reign & decline of Saul, the first
king; and the choice & preparation
of David, Israel’s greatest king.
The purpose of 2Sam is to record
the history of David’s reign; to reveal
the qualities that please God; and
to depict David as an ideal leader
of an imperfect kingdom and to
fore-shadow Christ who will be the
ideal leader of a perfect kingdom.

Let us humble ourselves and pray
and seek His face. Help us O God
be Christ’s disciples who trust You;
for You truly keep Your promises;
for You’re mighty helper & strength;
for You care about our concerns,
as well as deliver and secure us.
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
