Keep Praying

“Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by ceasing to pray for you, but I will instruct you in the good and right way.” (1 Samuel 12:23)

         Samuel has every reason to be fed up with Israel.  They haven’t listened to reason, they’ve requested a king against God’s orders, and they’ve shown themselves to be capricious and fickle in their loyalty to Jehovah… and throughout all of these events, Samuel has been caught in the middle.

         So, what does Samuel do?  He promises to pray for them and keep instructing them in the good and right way.  Samuel is steadfast while they are impulsive.  Samuel is loyal in the face of their faithlessness.

         Don’t let others decide your direction.  Your character, your choice.
