—1 Samuel 1:21-23
by: Cheri Appel.
Do you wonder why Samuel was so dedicated to God? Consider his parent’s examples. Hannah, faithful in her prayers and promise, kept her word and believed in God, no matter the cost. Elkanah was the spiritual leader of his family. He taught them to prepare and spend time with God, make sacrifices, and worship the Lord. Keeping the laws of the Jehovah, he walked and talked his respect for the Almighty. How do we measure up to these outstanding faithful folks? Elkanah’s words to live by were, “Let’s be obedient, doing everything according to God’s will, so all will see His faithfulness.”
