Daily Devotional with Pastor Jon

April 14

And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Beth-lehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.

1 Samuel 16:1

“Quit your mourning and moaning, Samuel, there’s work to do,” God said.

“But I have reason to mourn. My heart is broken,” Samuel could have said.

“I regret it, too, but I’ve moved on,” God might have answered.

We need to move on, gang. Yes, there are incidents in our lives that are hurtful, even regrettable - sad things, hard times, raw deals; pain, problems, and disappointments. But we must move on. Why? Because we serve a God Who is on the move (Genesis 1:2). If I remain in the past problem or the past disappointment, I will miss the present move of God.

This Daily Devotional is an excerpt from the book "A Day of Feasting" by Pastor Jon. "A Day of Feasting" is a collection of 365 short devotions from the Old Testament books of Joshua through Malachi.
