Who to follow?
Good morning everyone!! God is good all the time, all the time God is good! God does take care of the faithful believers, but unbelievers beware. Take a few minutes to read 1 Samuel, chapters 1, 2, 3.
Reflect on your life....are you walking as a Samuel, or as Eli's sons. Eli's sons were selfish, but Samuel was helpful. Eli's sons defrauded people, but Samuel grew in wisdom and gave the people messages from God. Eli's sons taunted God by having servants take meat from the sacrifices, even before the fat was gone. Samuel became a prophet, priest, and judge over Israel.
A person's actions reflect his character. This was true of Samuel, Eli's sons, and of us. We should strive to keep our heart pure before God. When you experience sadness or tragedy do you blame someone, curse God, or do you go to God in prayer?
Woodrow Wilson said, "Without enthusiasm there is no progress in the world." Where is your enthusiasm? In the LORD, or in material things? Eli's sons thrived on the things of the world, and died of the world. Samuel kept his eyes on GOD!
May your character show and lead people to the LORD! Thank you for reading with me today. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
Johnny
