.1 Samuel
Every journey of life begins with a sense of expectation. In this journey through 1 Samuel, what are your expectations? Where is the destination you long for? Who are the companions who will travel with you? Do you anticipate God’s appearance along the way?
Whether or not you invite God to journey with you, God’s existence is not a feeling, nor is He an emergency kit to be packed in a suitcase and taken out only in times of danger! Every character that appears in 1 Samuel has their own journey beneath their feet and their own expected destination. No matter which major station or narrow path of life they found themselves on, and whether or not they felt it, God never left them to walk alone.
Samuel set a stone in the midst of Mizpah and in the midst of the good, and gave the stone a name of thanksgiving, saying: The LORD has helped us so far.
