Faithfulness is one of God’s defining attributes. As believers, our hope is founded on the basis that the Lord is faithful to His promises. In response to this, we thankfully and faithfully serve Him with our lives.
This quarter, we will study some of God’s faithful servants in the Scriptures. Samuel, who was very young when he was called by the Lord, sets an example for us of what it means to listen to God even in unlikely times. Though God had not spoken through His prophets for a long time, Samuel would show Israel how one faithful servant can do great things for God.
In turn, each of us as believers should be inspired by the story of Samuel to listen to the Lord’s direction, which He provides through His Holy Word. Treasuring God’s Word is essential to a godly life (Bible Expositor and Illuminator Union Gospel Press, Summer Quarter 2022).
