1 Samuel Tuesday (chapters 11-15)“And the Spirit of God rushed upon Saul when he heard these words, and his anger was greatly kindled...and he mustered... three hundred thousand.” (1 Samuel 11:6&8 ESV)
“In the Spirit of God, Saul acts boldly and strategically. When circumstances call for boldness and righteous anger, do you act confidently? The Lord is our ‘very present help in trouble’ (Psalm 46:1). In challenging times, God’s Spirit empowers you to face the challenge.” (The Lutheran Study Bible, Concordia Publishing House, 2009, page 450)
Stand Up, Stand up for Jesus;
The strife will not be long;
This day the din of battle,
The next the victor's song.
The soldiers overcoming,
Their crown of life shall see
And with the King of Glory
Shall reign eternally.
(Stand Up, Stand up for Jesus, Lutheran Service Book, CPH, 2006, #600 stanza 4)
O Holy Spirit, fill me with passions that reflect Your desire for my life. Please grant me Your words and gifts so that I can be an instrument of Your help and hope for others. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
