Day 1: The King we rejected

A 7-day devotional “One Crown. One Throne. One King”

Day 1: The King we rejected

Theme: Humanity’s first rebellion

Key Thought: Rejecting God as King is humanity’s oldest pattern.

Scripture: “They have rejected me from being king over them.” — 1 Samuel 8:7

Reflection:
Israel’s demand for a human king was not merely political — it was spiritual. It revealed the heart’s natural resistance to God’s authority. Though we do not stand in ancient Israel, our hearts echo the same cry: “We want to rule ourselves.” Yet God’s love remains steadfast even in our rebellion.

Call to Action:
Ask yourself: In what area of my life am I resisting God’s rule?

Prayer:
Lord, reveal where I’ve rejected Your kingship, and draw my heart back under Your loving rule. Amen.
