The Rejection of Saul and the Rise of David | Day 103

Day 103 | 1 Samuel 15:1–17:31Today's reading dives into one of the most powerful lessons on obedience in Scripture. God commanded Saul to destroy the Amalekites completely, yet Saul decided to keep what “appealed” to him. Instead of following God's instructions fully, he let fear of the people dictate his actions. His partial obedience led to his rejection as king. But in contrast, we see the beginning of David’s journey—a man after God's own heart. What does God truly desire from us? He doesn’t look at outward appearances but at the heart. Are we living for God's approval or the approval of others? Let’s explore 1 Samuel 15-17 and reflect on what true obedience looks like.Visit bellevue.org/bible for more resources and to download our reading plan.#ChronologicalBibleJourney #ChronologicalBible #BellevueBaptistChurch
