Today’s reading: 1 Samuel 13:1-14:52

Saul was consumed with himself.  See what a price he paid for his pride, continual defensiveness, and paranoia!  As we will see in future readings, the difference between Saul and his successor, David, was not their sin but their repentance.  Saul left a stinking legacy (Ecclesiastes 10:1), but David is remembered as a “man after God’s own heart” (13:14).

How do you handle your sin?  Be thorough in repentance.

[For more reflections on this passage see the corresponding reading in my book Cover to Cover: Through the Bible in 365 days].
