Introduction

The sons of Eli, who are priests, are dishonest and refuse to obey the LORD. Meanwhile, Samuel continues to grow in favor with the LORD and with the people. 

Today’s Scripture: 1 Samuel 2:26 (GNT)

The boy Samuel continued to grow and to gain favor both with the LORD and with people.

Today’s Reading

1 Samuel 2:12-26

Reflect

How are the sons of Eli described? What warning did Eli give his sons (verses 22-25)? What did Samuel's mother bring to him each year? In what way did the LORD bless Hannah? In what ways do you experience God’s blessings?

Pray

Dear Lord, day by day may I grow in knowledge of You and find favor in Your sight. Teach me to serve You always and walk in Your ways. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Parents and children.
