Day 1 – P.S. THIS IS THE LORD

Read 1 Samuel 3
Samuel was just a little boy, but God had big plans for Him. What were they?
Do you believe that God has big plans for you?

Day 2 – ISRAEL’S WISH LIST

Read 1 Samuel 8
Why do the people want a king?
Who did they want to be like?
Have you ever wanted anything because you wanted to be like someone else?
God warned the people what a king would be like.
Did they listen to Him?

Day 3 – YOUR ROYAL HIGHNESS

Read 1 Samuel 9:10:1
What happens here?
Who does God choose as the King over Israel?

Give it a try! 

There is a big lie out there that Saul believed and you probably have at some point in your life believed. The lie is that you can obey God only in the parts that you want to obey Him. God wants you to obey with all your heart. God doesn’t force you to obey Him. He loves you enough to let you choose. He wants you TO WANT to obey Him and gives you tons of promises to give you a reason to obey. What ways are you having a hard time fully obeying God?

Day 4 – I WILL DO WHAT YOU ASK… KIND OF

Read 1 Samuel 15
What does God ask Saul to do? How does Saul disobey God?
God wants your full obedience when He asks you to do something. Partly obeying is not obeying. Have you ever partly obeyed God?

Day 5 – WILL THE REAL KING OF ISRAEL PLEASE STAND UP?

Read 1 Samuel 16
Who will be the next King of Israel?
Read verse 7 again. What is important
