Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.

Today's Bible verse is 1 Samuel 7:4 from the King James Version.

Episode 78: The Ark of God had been returned to Israel, but not every Israelite abandoned their idols, so Samuel spoke to the people, instructing and encouraging them to truly return to God. And they did! But as Israel was worshiping God, the Philistines launched an attack against them. However, this time, Israel sought God on His terms, instead of reacting out of fear, and God showed up. All was peaceful in Israel from that time, until the day they asked for a King.
