May 10
Introduction
Eli dies when he receives word that the Covenant Box was captured by the Philistines. The wife of Phinehas goes into labor when she hears that both her husband and her father-in-law (Eli) are dead and that the Covenant Box had been captured. She dies in childbirth after giving birth to a son.
Scripture Reading
1 Samuel 4:12-22
Today’s Key Verse: 1 Samuel 4:22
“God's glory has left Israel,” [Eli's daughter-in-law] said, “because God's Covenant Box has been captured.”
Reflect
What news did the messenger bring to Eli? Why did Eli’s daughter-in-law name her son Ichabod, and why did she feel that God’s glory had left Israel?
Pray
Gracious God, draw me close to you. Whenever I am downhearted, may I sense your presence and your sheltering love. May my words and actions this day give glory to you. In your holy name I pray. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
1 Samuel 5:1-12: The Philistines are punished for possessing the Covenant Box.
