Chapter 5 - God reveals He can look after Himself! The Philistines are stumped - their false gods can't do anything against the power of the Lord!
Chapter 8 - Wow - I had never realised that the introduction of a king was actually a sign of the people's rebellion (v7). Samuel makes clear to the people that a human king is very different to a divine king (v10-18) but they remain stubborn. When Christ comes, he finds the same response. The people want a human king, but not a divine one. When we accept Christ as Lord, we place ourselves under the rule of the truly divine King.
