Monday, June 20: Scripture – 1 Samuel 10:1a
1 Samuel took a vial of oil and poured it on his head and kissed him; he said, “The Lord has anointed you ruler over his people Israel. You shall reign over the people of the Lord, and you will save them from the hand of their enemies all around.
Prayer Focus: This week we will look at two texts related to the image of the Spirit as “tongues.” We begin with the prophet Samuel anointing Saul as the first king of Israel. He pours oil over his head and declares that the Lord has anointed Saul ruler over his people. This is sometimes called, “performative speech.” The prophet speaks this word and something happens. The prophet speaks and Saul is now the king. Think about how your words make things happen today. Pray that what you speak and enact today might glorify the Lord.
