If you take a good hard look at the state of our nation, you could easily be left discouraged. But as we’ll see today, it’s not unlike the nation Samuel grew up in! The Word of God was rare in those days, due to the rebellion and unbelief of the people. In the midst of it all Samuel received God’s call for His life and experienced a fruitful ministry. The same can be said of us, if we’re willing. Today on Abounding Grace we bring you the call of Samuel, found in First Samuel chapter three.
