1 Samuel 12:20 New International Version (NIV)
20 “Do not be afraid,” Samuel replied. “You have done
all this evil; yet do not turn away from the Lord, but serve
the Lord with all your heart.
Israel wanted a King. This crushed Samuel's heart and
angered God with the people's lack of faith. Samuel, however, reminds them that
while they have stumbled and fallen, they must not abandon the LORD himself.
Instead, their political concerns must give way to their total allegiance to
God and their willingness to serve him fully.
Thought for today:
Can I still serve despite heartbreak and anger?
