How does Leadership have its Relationship with God? ( 1 Samuel 1-3

 What only God can give should be our hearts desire. Honoring the Holy one is the first step in grace and comfort. Love cannot replace pain in the soul. Encouraging word only fex whom the Lord has not blessed. The answer is to seek the Lord alone as Paul Evens wrote in “1-2 Samuel,” “It is about those who realize they are in total reliance upon God and his grace.” (Pg. 45, 2018; Zondervan)

In our land of perversion, the righteous are called evil. The Lord will not despise a pure heart. When we pay our vows to the Lord, He gives us grace.  We find joy for the Lord is our reliance. The hand of the Most High is open to give what only He can give. Our salvation is in the Messiah alone.

We live in a world were even religious leaders are corrupt. That which is meant for the Lord is stolen. God has called each of us to stand for Him as a light in the darkness  of this present age as Rabbi Elie Mischel wrote in the article “Jews in the Pews” for the Israel Bible.

“God established the priesthood to ensure that there would always be people dedicated to helping the masses draw close to Him. But when the establishment itself becomes corrupt, “regular” people like Samuel must stand up and challenge it to ensure the establishment is purified and serves its true purpose. Merely being a priest, a descendant of Aaron, is not enough; priests must live and act with holiness.” (February 8, 2024  https://theisraelbible.com/jews-in-the-pews-rise-up/ Nov 16, 2023)

The Almighty speaks rarely so we must be ready to listen. If we are faithful in small things, He will give us greater things. God makes His will known though divine serenity, the Lord has seen the wickedness in our land and will judge.
