Daily Bible Reading — Sustained by God’s Word of Promise

DAY 11 OF 31

July 11

Introduction

Saul is anointed as king, and Samuel tells him about things that will happen that day as proof that he has been chosen by the LORD. God gives Saul a new nature, and the Spirit takes control of him. 

Today’s Scripture: 1 Samuel 10:1a (GNT)

Then Samuel took a jar of olive oil and poured it on Saul’s head, kissed him, and said, “The LORD anoints you as ruler of His people Israel.”
 

Today’s Reading 

1 Samuel 10:1-16

Reflect

Olive oil was poured on the head of someone who was chosen to perform special tasks such as to be a priest, a prophet, or a king. This was called “anointing.” When Saul is anointed as king, what does Samuel tell him? What happened when the Spirit took control of Saul? In what ways do you experience the presence of God’s Spirit in your life?

Pray

Loving God, fill me with Your Spirit. I yield to Your control. Guide my thoughts and actions this day and lead me in the way of Your truth. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Political candidates.

Tomorrow’s Reading

1 Samuel 10:17-27: Saul is acclaimed as king.
