In Samuel's final speech to the people he says many significant things. Could simply highlight them for us, by highlighting the text.
20 And Samuel said to the people, “Do not be afraid; you have done all this evil. Yet do not turn aside from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart. 21 And do not turn aside after empty things that cannot profit or deliver, for they are empty. 22 For the Lord will not forsake his people, for his great name's sake, because dit has pleased the Lord to make you a people for himself. 23 Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray for you, fand I will instruct you in the good and the right way.
24 Only fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart. For consider what great things he has done for you. 25 But if you still do wickedly, you shall be swept away, both you and your king.”
Samuel encourages his people in three ways:
1.Not to turn away from the LORD.
2.Don't sin by failing to pray for others.
3.Serve God faithfully for all of your life.
Have a great day,
Peter Clark.
