Gospel Reflections #920: The Foundation of All

1 Samuel 7:15 "And Samuel judged Israel all his days."

Samuel was Israel's last judge, while also fulfilling significant roles as a prophet and priest.

The phrase "all his days" indicates that Samuel continued to guide Israel as a spiritual and moral leader even after Saul was established as king.

Samuel was taught by his faithful mother Hannah.

Ellen G. White also stated that the great work of life is the building of character, and that knowing God is the foundation of all true education.

We tend to focus solely on knowledge, yet how we impart that knowledge to others is crucial, and character profoundly influences this.

We are utterly failing to teach our children and families about God, obedience, and reverence. 

However, it is said that the human heart gradually adapts to the problems it is trained to think about and the things it constantly focuses on. 

Therefore, when we look up to God and intercede, it is not us but God who will surely work.
