And we see the discipleship journey of two contrasting characters: Saul and David. Our discipleship journey must be founded and built on two indispensable and inseparably intertwined fundamentals: the kingship of God and the centrality of the Word of God. Samuel’s place in 1 Samuel is about the centrality of the Word of God, for he was God’s prophet in Israel (vv.7, 19-21; 1 Sam 4:1; 7:3; 8:10; 9:27; 15:1). If “word from the Lord is rare” in our lives (v.1), does it matter to us? Are we concerned? It will be incongruent for us to say “Yes”, if the Bible is not more important to us than anything else and if we neglect the Scriptures. The Bible’s importance to us is indicated by our seeking to live by the Word of God (Matt 4:4). And this in turn is reflected by our devotion to reading and understanding the Scriptures. And that means making time for unhurried reading and “looking intently” at the Scriptures (Jas 1:25). The Psalmist prays, “Give me understanding, that I may observe Your Law” (Psa 119:34). The purpose of understanding God’s Word is to apply the Word, but understanding precedes application. Are you like a tree planted by streams of living water that nourishes your soul, because you delight in the Word of God and feed on it with hunger (Psa 1:2-3), habitually asking “What does the Scripture say?” (Rom 4:3)? OBSERVATION What does the crisis of Israel described in verse 1 tell us? APPLICATION In what ways is the portrait of the man or woman of God in Psalm 1:2-3 true of me? PRAYER Your Word, O God, is perfect, reviving and refreshing the soul; it is trustworthy, making wise the simple; it is right, giving joy to the soul; and it is clear, giving insight for living. O that Your Word be to me more desirable than gold, even the finest gold, so that I can say “The law of Your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces”! Prayer Points Give thanks and praise; pray for leaders; pray for those in need; pray for self. Song Lord, I Love Your Words https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5C2QSNjjscc 6

Wednesday, 15 December 2021 UPDATED PUBLIC HEALTH PROTECTIONS TO KEEP VICTORIANS SAFE With more than 92 per cent of eligible Victorians double dose vaccinated, coronavirus restrictions are being updated to ensure Victorians enjoy more freedoms this festive season, keeping themselves and their families safe while the Omicron variant is monitored and investigated. Minister for Health Martin Foley will today sign pandemic orders under the new Public Health and Wellbeing Act, which will come into effect from 11.59pm tonight and be in place until 12 January 2022. The Minister has made the decision to sign the pandemic orders after considering advice from the Chief Health Officer (CHO) that there continues to be a serious risk to public health from the global pandemic, and that restrictions continue to be necessary to protect Victorians and the healthcare system. In particular, the CHO has highlighted the need to gather more information about the Omicron variant of concern before considering further changes to protective measures – such as mask requirements. All Victorians who are eligible for a booster five months after their second shot are urged to book an appointment as soon as possible – especially those at higher risk of contracting the virus, such as healthcare workers. Ensuring children are protected from coronavirus is also vital, and parents are encouraged to get their kids vaccinated when the rollout for five to 11-year-olds begins on 10 January 2022. As part of the orders, people under 18 will no longer be required to show proof of their vaccination status at all venues, such as hospitality. The mandatory vaccination requirement will be removed for all customers in retail, except hair and beauty services, and will also be removed in real estate, places of worship, weddings and funerals. Mask settings in retail remain unchanged. Under the pandemic orders, restaurants, cafes, bars and pubs are still only open to fully vaccinated patrons and staff. Workers are required to wear masks. Face masks no longer need to be worn at weddings, funerals, or ceremonial settings. If these events are held at places of worship there will not be any vaccination requirements or limits on participants, nor any requirement for organisers to check vaccination status. If the ceremony is at a hospitality setting, vaccine requirements will apply. Workplaces exposed to a positive coronavirus case will no longer need to be deep cleaned, after mounting international evidence that coronavirus is an airborne or droplet-borne disease and the likelihood of becoming infected by touching a surface is very low risk. In addition, tour and transport operators, gyms and creative arts premises such as theatres and cinemas will not need to clean equipment between uses. Workplaces will still need to maintain CovidSafe plans. Elective surgery rules are also being updated, with rural and regional health services able to resume up to 75 per cent of normal elective surgery activity.
