Ln order to grasp the story of Sam
uel's boyhood life, u survey should be
runde of I Samuel, oh. 1-8.
I. Samuel Given In Answer to
Prayer (I Sam. 1 :1H. 20).
The name Samuel means "asked of
God." He was given to Hannali li
answer to lier prayers. In connee
tlon with hd*~a8king this gift from
God. Bhe vowed to give him to God
He was to be therefore a Xazurlte nl
the days of his life.
II. Samuel Given to the Lord (I
Sain. 1 :24-28).
- " n time he was enred for by Ill
mother in the home. The best tiurs.
and teacher for a child Is Its tnoih-i
According to her vow when she askc.
the Lord for this child, at an early am
she took him to the sanctuary uh<!
gave him over to the charge of Kll. tli.
priest, to minister in (lie sanctuary
III. Features of lirael's Hic;ciy I
This Period (2 :12-8il)
1. The demoralized priesthood
(1) They were actuated by
(2:12-17).
It wns God's will that tho>e s\h<
ministered at the allur should live o?
the things of the altar, but they brokt
through Uie divine regulation:- touch
lug this matter, even to securing their
selllsh ends by force.
(2) Gro->s Im.noniMty (2:22).
The courts of God's bouse were tlnn
polluted. The condition of the mi
tlon was ino.it appulllrg: DtgnidiM ioi
and ruin follow rapidly when Go<|'>
ministers ore *i 1 1 < }, , the s\v;iy of lust
and greed.
2. An aii people ( 2 :;!0-,',2).
^ Their sins separated thcnn from ( rCiti I
God's h,,li|.es- .- 1 1 ? i i !, i jh.iM- W|,
practice sin ure ulieimteU front Him
8. The cessail.irt ,,f divine reveie
tlon (3:1).

was more a memory ilian n present
experience. The -?ntm- thing In prin
c,;'u' ' ...ii ; i f ,
today. Some wim once ehjoyed fel
lowship with (tod no longer hear His
voice speaking to them.
IV. God Called Samuel (8:2-10).
lu striking contrast with Hie de
geiieracy of the nation, wo Inve be
fore iim i he beautiful life ot Samuel
Dwelling within the suitred courts and
ministering before the Lord with KM
is the Innocent Samuel who is become
the s:t\ lor of his people. In Samuel
we have u striking pattern of child r?
llgion. I he Lord ?:t\e hint in answei
to Hannali s prayer. From Ids birth
he was dedicated to t lie Lord. While
quite young his mother took him to
the Kunctunry of the Lord where he
served and slept. Two traits in Sam
uel s character stand out In this call
namely, his cheerful obedience to the
Lord's call and hit- surrendered will
ile expressed his willingness before
he knew whin was required. He did
not Inquire what was wanted and tliei
let his obedience depend upon It?
suiting him We should believe that
the Lot d Knows what Is best and be
willing (. yield glad obedience to His
commands
V. Samuel's First Prophetic Mes
*age (8:11-18).
Up to this time Samuel obeyed the
one who was over him, but tiip time
had now come when lie must dlreeth
henr a* I obey the Lord. The first
message entrusted to him was a most
terrible one. To deliver it was a most
trying task. He hesitated to tell It to
KM. but when press. ,| |,.v him in? man
Ifested the true courage which waf
lying hack of his fear. It inn | huv?
been a hitter experience to Kli to Hee
Siinifiel recognized nnd himself ,,asse.|
by. but he wns submissive, lie knew
thai the sllgh: was lust. Me could no
fail lo i ill ei pi et || I bus In view of H,
Hppeiiiniice of the mm, of Co(| ,n t,,?
(2-27 .;?!) This feari.i' . ! .;ti,
Kli s bouse was due to the sins of his
sons. He was held accountable fo?
not restraining them.
VI. Samuot Established in *he
Prophetic Office (8:19-21).
"And Samuel Krew and the Lord
was with til in and did let none of Ills
words fall to the ground nnd nil
Israel from Dun even to IteershebH
knew that Suiuuel wm established to
be a prophet of the Lord.''
