Week 7 Bible Reading

                 This Bible reading was about Ruth trying to find a husband to take care of her. Naomi told Ruth that she needed to find a home for her, so she has to go meet up with Boaz. After Boaz was done eating and drinking he lied down and when he awoke soon after he was startled by a woman by his feet(Ruth). He told her to find the next close relative, but if he was not willing than he would do it. Some surprising methods that God has used in my life are that he healed some people of numerous diseases and did not let many people die that still had a purpose. God has done many things to keep me believing in Him.


Tues. Ruth 4:1-22 A Happy Ending: What future reasons could there be for obeying God today?


                 This Bible reading was about a happy ending between Ruth and Boaz. Boaz went to town to try to find someone to buy Elimelek's land. Boaz bought the land and redeemed Ruth as his wife. Boaz and Ruth had a child after the got married and named in Obed in which Naomi embraced him. Some future reason for obeying God is going to heaven. If you obey, follow, and live for God than you will go to heaven in the future.

Wed. 1 Samuel 1:1-28 A Serious Prayer: What promises have you made to God lately that you have kept?


                 This Bible reading was about a serious prayer that Hannah prayed to have a son. Elkanah (Eli) married Hannah and the Lord closed Hannah's womb. Hannah prayed a lot to God to open her womb and give her a son. Eli thought that Hannah was drunk by the way she was praying. Soon after that, Hannah became pregnant and gave birth to her son, Samuel. I made a promise to God that I will continue on with a life of Godliness and praise to Him. I have kept that promise for a while now and I intend to always keep it.

Thurs. 1 Samuel 3:1-21 God Calls Samuel: When you read God’s Word, what do you expect Him to say to you?


                  This Bible reading was about God calling Samuel to do something. Samuel was minister at the time where ministry was rare under Eli. Eli's eyes had become to grow weak and he could barely see. God called Samuel, but Samuel did not know God. Samuel kept going to Eli because he kept hearing his name, but it was God calling him. God then showed Himself to Samuel through His word. I expect Him to say or teach me a lesson or show an example of myself through others. I always get what I expect for when it comes to the Bible through God. 

Fri. 1 Samuel 8:1-5 Samuel’s Disappointing Sons: Are you ever tempted to be greedy and unfair? How can you change?


                   This Bible reading was about Samuel's sons disappointing Samuel. When Samuel grew older he had to appoint his sons as the leaders of Israel. Samuel's sons turned against him and accepted bribe and perverted justice. The elders in Israel came to Samuel to tell him to pick a native King because sons have been dishonest and Samuel himself was too old. I am tempted to be greedy and unfair when it comes to anything between my younger siblings. I always think that since I'm the oldest that I need more of everything including attention, but I am changing my ways.
