Introduction: There are more genealogies in our reading this week but we also encounter the account of the reign of Saul and begin reading the account of the reign of David.

Search the Scriptures

Look for references for each of the following:

• Promises that God made and to whom He made them. Do they apply to you?
• References that either refer to or infer something about future events.
• What does this passage teach about Jesus?
• Commandments that God made and to whom He made them. Do they apply to you?

Putting the Word into Action

Reading a review of the times of Saul and David should remind us that God is faithful to keep His promises. Make a list of the promises of God. Then give thanks to Him as you are reminded of everything He has done for you from the time of your birth up to the present time. (If you really try to make such a comprehensive list you will never complete it because His mercies are new every day!)
