1 Samuel 11:15
What a victorious celebration! Israel, under their new king Saul, triumphed over the threatening Ammonites. Saul's anger, fueled by his love for God and his people, was a righteous one. It ignited the "fear of the Lord" in the Israelites, motivating them to stand for God. They united to face a formidable enemy, and through clever tactics, emerged triumphant. The people rejoiced, grateful for God's presence and protection. Reflect on the might and power of God, experiencing the fear that stems from respect and awe for His greatness. If you ever feel anger at disrespect towards God, it's a righteous emotion. Remember, the Bible is the most extraordinary, true story—God's story to you.
