I Samuel 3-4
I Samuel 3:7 tells us that “Samuel did not yet know the Lord; the word of the LORD had not yet been revealed to him.” Eli taught Samuel how to respond to God’s call.
When Samuel shared with Eli the vision God gave him – Eli’s response was “He is the LORD: let Him do what is good in His eyes.”
Samuel became a faithful servant for God. Eli honored God before himself, his sons, or even Samuel. But tragedy struck Eli’s home, and tragedy struck the Israelite nation.
Why did God allow the Israelites to be defeated by the Philistines?
Why did God allow the ark of the covenant to be taken by Israel’s enemy?
How do you think Eli’s death will affect Samuel?
