Daily D – 1 Samuel 15:12

by David Bowman | Mar 31, 2023 | Daily D | 0 comments

1 Samuel 15:12 Early the next morning Samuel went to find Saul. Someone told him, “Saul went to the town of Carmel to set up a monument to himself; then he went on to Gilgal.” When Samuel finally found him, Saul greeted him cheerfully. “May the Lord bless you,” he said. “I have carried out the Lord’s command!” (NLT)

Dear Leader, If you erect monuments to yourself, you’re doing it wrong.

Also, if you do God’s will your way, this too is wrong.

Continuing along this same line, joyfully reporting on your half-measure obedience is also wrong, wrong, wrong.

Worse yet, those things we leave undone have a way of coming back to bite us. Compare 1 Samuel 15:1-3 with 2 Samuel 1:1-8. The unfinished business of 1 Samuel 15 led to the disaster of 2 Samuel 1.

Trust GOD from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for GOD’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track.
Proverbs 3:5, 6
The Message

—

I will do God’s will God’s way in God’s timing.

—

Our Father, your will, your way, every night, and every day. Amen.

Daily D – Isaiah 66:2

Isaiah 66:2
“But there is something I’m looking for:
a person simple and plain,
reverently responsive to what I say.”
(The Message)

Daily D – Isaiah 65:1-2

Isaiah 65:1, 2
“I was sought by those who did not ask;
I was found by those who did not seek me.
I said, ‘Here I am, here I am,’
to a nation that did not call on my name.
I spread out my hands all day long
to a rebellious people
who walk in the path that is not good,
following their own thoughts.“

Daily D – Isaiah 61:3

Isaiah 61:3

And they will be called righteous trees,
planted by the LORD
to glorify him.
(CSB)

”To all who mourn in Israel,
he will give a crown of beauty for ashes,
a joyous blessing instead of mourning,
festive praise instead of despair.
In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks
that the Lord has planted for his own glory.“

Daily D – Isaiah 58:3-4

Isaiah 58:3, 4

“Why have we fasted, but you have not seen?
We have denied ourselves, but you haven’t noticed!”

“Look, you do as you please on the day of your fast,
and oppress all your workers.
You fast with contention and strife
to strike viciously with your fist.
You cannot fast as you do today,
hoping to make your voice heard on high.“

Daily D – Isaiah 55:8-9

Isaiah 55:8, 9 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways.” This is the Lord’s declaration. “For as heaven is higher than earth, so my ways are higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.“
