And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the LORD hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, God save the king. Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house. And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with him a band of men, whose hearts God had touched (I Samuel 10:24-26, KJV)
God’s plan for how we should live is written in His book. I often forget that during the hustle and bustle of life. Things like: love your enemies, give them two coats when they take one or whoever wants to be the greatest must be the least. These timeless principles are the norm for those in the Kingdom, but they have to be imprinted on our minds and hearts to make them a reality in our lives.
The prophet Samuel told the Israelites the manner of the kingdom, wrote it in a book and laid it up before the Lord. In this way, the people knew the standard. They didn’t have to go through life, shuffling around, wondering. It was there. It was read. It was written.
