YOUNG PCOPI.K AND AUUI.T TOF- JCmSIcarlHB and Ucedlng God'* Vole*, In order to grasp the story of Sam­ uel's boyhood life, a survey should be made of r Sattiqel, ch, T*3. 1. Samuel .Oliven In Answer to Prayer (I Sam. 1:10, 20), The name Samuel means "asked of God." Bo was given to Hannah In answer to her prayers. In connec­ tion with her asking this gift from God,, she vowed to give him to God, He. was to be therefore a Nazarite all the days of his life. II, Samusl Divan to the' Lord (I Sam, 1:24-28)i For a time he was cared for by bis mother In the home. The best nurse and teacher for a child is Its mother. According to her vow when she asked the Lord for this child, .at an early age .she took him to the 'sanctuary and gave him over to the charge of EU, the priest, to minister in the sanctuary. III. Features of Israel'* History In This Period (2:12-36), J, The demoralized priesthood. (1) They were actuated by greed (2:12-17). . It was God's will that those who ministered at .the altar .should live of the things of the altar, but they broke through. the divine regulations touch­ ing this matter, even to securing their selfish ends by force. (2) Gross immorality (2:22). The courts of God’p house wore thus polluted. The condition of the na­ tion, was most appalling: Degradation and ruin follow rapidly when God's ministers ore under the sway of lust and greed. 2. An alienated people (2:30-32). Their sins separated them fromGod. God's holiness is such that those who practice sin are alienated from Him. 3. The cessation of divine revelu- ‘ tlon (3:1). The Word of God was precious in those days, “There was no open' vision.*' This shows that Gad was Silent, The message from the Lord was more a memory .than a present experience. The sain>ft .tin* In prln clple Is true of .thg forthfr*®* Ufa. today. Some wlow'0- w> -.Joyed fel­ lowship with Ood, pg ioof# ftmr Bis In striking eontnuk with the g*a*r*cy of the nstfoB, w* bsv* fore us the beautiful life of Samuel. Dwelling within the sacred court* and ministering before the Lord with Ell is the lhnoeent Samuel who Is become the savior of his people. In Samuel we have a striking pattern of child re­ ligion. The Lord gave him In answer to Hannah's prayer. Froth his birth he was dedicated to the Lord, While quite young his mother took him to the sanctuary of the Lord where he served and slept Two traits In Sam­ uel's character stand out in this call, namely, his cheerful obedience to the Lord's cull ahd his surrendered will. He expressed Ids Willingness before he knew what wns required. He did not inquire what was wanted and then let his obedience depend upon Its suiting him, We should believe that the Lord knows wlmt Is best and be willing to yield glud obedience to His commands, V, Samuel'* F!r*t Prophetic M*»- cage (3 ;11-18), Up to this time Samuel obeyed the one who was over him, but the time had-now come when he must directly bear and obey the Lord. The first message entrusted to him was a most terrible one. To deliver It was a most trying took. Ho hesitated to tell It to Eli, but when pressed by him he man­ ifested the true courage which was lying back of his fear. It taunt have been a bitter experience to Ell to see Samuel recognized and himself parked by, but ho was submissive. Ho knew 'that the rliiHt was Just He could cot fall to Interpret IS thus in view of the appearance of the man of God to him (2:27-20). This fearful visitationupon Eli's house was duo to'the sins of hfo sons, •Ho was held accountable tor not restraining them. VI. Samuil Established In thi Prophetic Office (3:19-21). "And Samuel grow and the Lord was with him and did let none of His words fall to the ground and all Israel from Dan oven ,to Bcersheba knew that Samuel was established to b&a predict of the Lord.’* Supreme Blessedness • AS long 03°we remain the ultimate owners and disposers- of our goods we miss the supreme tflessedneEs of Hfe.-A.
