God has a plan for our Life by Eld.M Bates

Samuel 1-10

¹⁰ In her deep anguish Hannah prayed to the Lord, weeping bitterly. ¹¹ And she made a vow, saying, “Lord Almighty, if you will only look on your servant’s misery and remember me, and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I will give him to the Lord for all the days of his life, and no razor will ever be used on his head.”

 

God has a plan for all of our young men especially the ones who we consider not worthy.  Samuel was birthed through his mother’s misery but God still had a plan for his life.  The word of the Lord was so precious in those days because no one could understand it.  Samuel’s mother gave him to God as a young child because she was so grateful and God repaid her.  Samuel could hear God’s voice calling out to him but he was confused because he thought it was his spiritual father Eli.  When Eli instructed Samuel to answer to God, the plan for Samuel’s life was revealed.  God promised Samuel that he would do something so great in Israel that everyone would be able to hear.  The Lord will call or talk to every man or woman if we listen and he will tell you what to do.
 

^3:19-21

¹⁹ The Lord was with Samuel as he grew up, and he let none of Samuel’s words fall to the ground. ²⁰ And all Israel from Dan to Beersheba recognized that Samuel was attested as a prophet of the Lord. ²¹ The Lord continued to appear at Shiloh, and there he revealed himself to Samuel through his word.
