That king is going to go against God's commands in Deuteronomy 17, and the people are going to cry out to God for help, and he won't send it. But Israel doesn't heed Samuel's warning. What was your God shot in the midst of these five chapters? How did you see more of who God is today?

I spent a lot of time thinking about how God has set this nation apart to be different so that the other nations would recognize God's glory and how in the very moments when that starts to happen, Israel doesn't want to honor him. They want a different plan. The Philistines recognized his power, but the people of Beth Shemesh disobey God, and instead of repenting, they send the Ark away. The Ark.

I was so mad at them. Then there's peace in the land, but they have two corrupt judges, so instead of replacing them with godly judges, they ask for a king so they can be like all the other nations. They keep rejecting the very thing that makes them unique. And God says that's a rejection of Him. He is their identity. Seeing this about God gives me pause.

Where do I reject what He has called me to be for His glory because I want to fit in or be respected? Where does fear of man drive me more than love of God? I know this truth and I want it to inform all my motives. He's where the joy is. You've probably heard us talk about Big Blue, our first ever version of the Bible Recap book.

Hey Bible Readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. Today we start our 10th book of the Bible, and this book contains some of the most beloved stories in the whole Old Testament. To backtrack a bit on how we got here, Israel started out as just Abraham. God promised him offspring and land.

God gave him the offspring little by little, but his descendants really multiplied during the 400 years they were enslaved in Egypt. God used Moses to lead them out of slavery and followed that with 40 years of testing in the wilderness to train their hearts to know that he is the one true God. Then God brought them into the land He promised Abraham all those years ago.
