1 Samuel 1:8-28; 3:1-21; 7:2-15: 8:1-4; 10:1: 12:1-25, 13:1-15

 

Like any other leader, Samuel didn’t start life as an E. F. Hutton. His ability to speak into the lives of others grew and developed over the course of time. But he did start unusually early. People began listening to him when he was just a boy. And once he was established as a voice of authority, he retained that level of influence throughout his life.

 

Samuel was special from the time he was born because he was an answer to prayer. As a very young child, he was placed in the care of Eli, the high priest and judge of Israel. The first record we have of his speaking as an E. F. Hutton occurred when Samuel told Eli of the prophecy he had received concerning the older priest’s family. As young Samuel grew, his authority increased. Scripture tells us, “Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground” (1Sam. 3:19 NKJV).
