Devotion:
Read 1 Samuel 25:1.
Samuel, the great prophet and judge of Israel, died. This great man, who was dedicated to the Lord, served Him from his youngest days. His mother begged for a child and then she gave her son to God. Being Godly and living a dedicated life did not save him from an earthly death. Remember Samuel was a descendant of Adam. God’s work in Israel did not end when Samuel died as God’s work is never dependent on one person. The faithful keep the journey of faith going. David rose up to continue. The Israelites gathered together and lamented for him. He was appreciated after his death probably more than when he was alive. Samuel laid the foundation for the organization of the Levites who are responsible for the service of the sanctuaries. David completed this process. It mentions in 2 Chronicles that Samuel was faithful to remember the Passover and God’s great deliverance. We must pass on our faithful witness to those coming behind us.
