“And after that they desired a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, forty years.”
Reflection for Today
Let Acts 13:21 speak first, before our plans and worries do: “And after that they desired a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, forty years.”
The Acts of the Apostles remind us that the Church is not a museum of holy memories. It is a living community moved by the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning. A single verse can meet us differently depending on the season we are in: grief, gratitude, fatigue, or new beginnings.
God often changes us less by thunder and more by a line of Scripture that will not leave us alone. Share this verse with someone who needs encouragement, not as advice from above, but as a gift you yourself are trying to live.

Quiet my mind, warm my heart, and help me live what I have heard with faith, hope, and charity. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
