We continue our series on Samuel by looking at his call by God in a very dark time. Â Samuel was just a boy but he was old enough to listen and respond. Â One of the unique aspects of this chapter is that it is a literal account of what was happening in Israel, but it is also figurative in a spiritual sense. Â If you want to be really prepared for our study this weekend, please read 1 Samuel 2 and then 1 Samuel 3.
