Week #24 (June 10-16)

Here's this week's schedule:

Sunday: catch up day
Monday: catch up day
Tuesday: 1 Samuel 1-3
Wednesday: 1 Samuel 4-8
Thursday: 1 Samuel 9-12
Friday: 1 Samuel 13-15
Saturday: 1 Samuel 16-18

Here's a little more background information on the book of 1 Samuel. It begins at one of the lowest points in Israel's history where there was incredible sin among not only the people, but even among the leaders and the priests. In the beginning of this book God raises up Samuel as a prophet to lead the people, and he eventually anoints first Saul and later David as the first kings of Israel. The books of 1 & 2 Samuel is definitely a time of transition for the nation of Israel, not only spiritually but also politically.

Happy reading!
