*Day 97/365 (April 7) PORTIONS TO READ*:
*The story of Saul*
The Philistines defeated - I Samuel 7:9-14
Samuel's leadership - I Samuel 7:15-17
14th Judge, Abdon - Judges 12:13-15
The corrupt government of Samuel's sons - I Samuel 8:1-3

Samuel and Saul meet - I Samuel 9:2-27
*[Reign of Saul - 1065-1025 BC]*

*A thought*:
Israel's desire for a king was really a cover-up. Deep down inside, they resented the rule of God over them. They were like the boy who said, "My father told me to sit down, but I was still standing up on the inside". Does that remind you of anyone?
*Week #14 Memory Verse*:
2 Timothy 1:7
"For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline"
