Let's learn from Samuel....

Listen I what I learned from my Bible Study today (from Robert Morgan )

Samuel dealt with aggravating people and problems all the time while he traveled from place to place.
He would help settle disputes between people, and also teach God's Word.

Then, finally he announced he would retire and devote his final years to a quiet ministry of prayer and teaching.

You know what?

• If Samuel ever had a midlife crisis he weathered it.
• If Samuel ever doubted his calling, he didn't show it.
• If Samuel ever faced discouraging days, he overcame them.
• If Samuel ever wanted to quit, he rested in the Lord and then plunged right back into the work.

He served the Lord all the days of his life.

Think about yourself:

• Are you going around in circles, dealing with aggravations, have a nervous breakdown.

Remember this:

God measures success by faithfulness and He bestows fresh layers of mercy as we serve Him day by day, all the days of our lives.

Let's start looking at our lives like Samuel. When we are down and out, stressed, worried, not knowing where we are going financially, etc. etc. etc. let's REST in Him and allow Him to put us where He wants us to be, let's meet Him there and watch Him and experience Him and how He changes us to be exactly what and where He wants us to be.
