Today we hear of the way God arranged for Saul to meet Samuel, and how God revealed amazing details to Samuel about what would happen to Saul in the short term. Saul becomes king. It is such a shame that Saul fulfilled the earlier prophecy given by Samuel a few chapters back, rather than continuing to be humble like he was at the start of his reign.
Psalm 95 is a gem among the psalms. Note the exuberance of worship in this psalm! And this is balanced by reverence to him. The last half of this psalm is quoted in full in Hebrews and is an important topic in that New Testament book.
Paul comes to the first explanation of his main point in verses 23-31. This is a difficult passage to translate. NLT has done a good job making many difficult concepts clear, particularly in verse 23 and 26. I have modified the translation to show cohesion in Paul's repetition of the word 'believe', as is noted in the attached PDF.
