Serve God with all your heart
1 Samuel 12:1-25
Today's reading is essentially Samuels final address to Israel and hand -ober message to the king and the people .
There are three important elements.
Vs 1-5: With reference to his own example ,Samuel reminded them that good administration does not seek self interest .This is a lesson for both spiritual and secular leaders today.
Vs 6-11: with reference to their history,he reminded them of the danger of forgetting GOD.
ISthis a danger for you when things are going well?
Vs 12-15: God has now given them a king ,but their first obligation must be God.both the King and the people must be God fearing,if they expect to proper.Monarchy itself will not save them from the ups and downs of the past.
To demonstrate to the king and the people that God was with Samuel,and in charge of the transition,Samuels address was accompanied by a miraculous thunderstorm during the dry season.Then the people asked for pardon and we're assured that the Lord will not abandon his people(vs23 what a gracious God we have !!!
