Formula for Blessing
1 Samuel 12:19-25
Skip Heitzig
1 Samuel 12 (NKJV™) | |
19 | And all the people said to Samuel, "Pray for your servants to the LORD your God, that we may not die; for we have added to all our sins the evil of asking a king for ourselves." |
20 | Then Samuel said to the people, "Do not fear. You have done all this wickedness; yet do not turn aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart. |
21 | "And do not turn aside; for then you would go after empty things which cannot profit or deliver, for they are nothing. |
22 | "For the LORD will not forsake His people, for His great name's sake, because it has pleased the LORD to make you His people. |
23 | "Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you; but I will teach you the good and the right way. |
24 | "Only fear the LORD, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you. |
25 | "But if you still do wickedly, you shall be swept away, both you and your king." |
