0:00.0	Welcome to a year in the Bible with daily grace. From even to eternity, the Bible tells one big story of redemption.
0:09.0	My name is Tiffany and I want to spend a few minutes with you every day walking through the Bible chronologically.
0:16.0	Together, we will explore God's sovereign plan as the events of Scripture unfold and point to Jesus.
0:25.0	Hey, you're in the Bible family. Welcome back to another day on our journey from even to eternity.
0:31.0	My name is Tiffany and today we come to some chapters that mark a great shift in the life of Israel.
0:38.0	Today, Israel asks for a king. This will have great implications as we move forward in the plan of redemption.
0:46.0	And we will be continually reminded of our need for a perfect and righteous king that will only be satisfied in Jesus.
0:54.0	We begin today with 1st Samuel chapter 8 as a time marker.
0:59.0	1st one says when Samuel grew old.
1:04.0	This lets us know that a great deal of time has passed since Samuel's calling and the victory at Mizpah we read about yesterday.

2:02.0	God had planned that an earthly king would rule Israel one day.
2:07.0	We know this because of the royal line of Judah blessed by Jacob in Genesis 49.
2:12.0	We also read the statutes God gave Moses concerning the appointment of a king in Deuteronomy 17.
2:20.0	But the king was always meant to be chosen by God, not the people.
2:26.0	Israel perceived that the grass was greener in these other nations that were ruled by an earthly king.
2:33.0	But God used Samuel to give the people a reality check. If they have a king, he will take their men into battle.
2:41.0	He will take people to be his servants and harvest his pastures and vineyards, and he will text them.
