Father, these are our lives.
Lead us,
Educate us,
Talk to us,
Build us.
To do as you want, it is difficult for us,
Walking in your presence is complicated,
Obeying your instructions is painful for us.
We like in priority to please our neighbor, we want to be proud of us, we fight so that others love us and appreciate us.
What concerns us is what the world will say about us.
And God?
Are we agreeable to him?
It is not a question that torments our minds but it is good to be celebrated by men but it is better to satisfy the heart of God.
Saul did everything to maintain his standing among men.
He neglected the recommendations of his authority and when the Spirit of God left him, things turned sour.
Saul always wanted to do everything to please men.
He offered the sacrifice in place of Samuel because he saw that the people were impatient and were dispersing.
He was foolish and put his reign in danger.
He didn’t respect anything, all to please men.
Let us be like Samuel who was not only pleasing to the Lord but also to men.
He served Eli, he stayed under Eli’s cover and did not indulge his father’s sons lightly.
Eli was a judge in Israel, he loved God but only he lacked discipline with his children.
He preferred to honor his children more than God.
He was not able to assume his responsibility as a servant of God, he left his children polluted the altar of God and wasted the sacrifices given to the Lord.
But Samuel did not allow himself to be influenced by the biological sons of his spiritual father, he was particularized, he remained in the grace of Eli.
He learned to listen to and be pleasing to the Lord.
He did nothing to interfere with his calling and the Lord.
The older Samuel grew, the more he respected and honored men and his God.
He learned the principles of God and walked in the footsteps of the Lord.
1 Samuel, 2:26 – The young Samuel continued to grow, and he was pleasing to the Lord and to men.
Pray to become pleasant unto the Lord and unto the man.
Let us be pleasing to the Lord and do not neglect our neighbor.
Hello, here
Good day
