【１ Samuel 11:14】

「Then Samuel said to the people,

　"Come, let us go to Gilgal

　and renew the kingdom there."」　　Amen.

　The people who settled on the eastern bank of the Jordan were naturally exposed to attacks from surrounding nations. When the Ammonites attacked, the people of Jabesh appealed to their kinsmen on the western bank. It was then that Saul appeared, and he drove off the Ammonites. Then they rejoiced greatly at Gilgal over Saul as king. They formally accepted Saul, who had already been anointed, as their king. We too must welcome Jesus, the King, onto the throne of our hearts and renew our spirit.

　May we welcome Jesus today and be renewed in spirit...　　

God bless you.   See you tomorrow.
