Too often in our lives, we take our salvation for granted. We find ourselves distracted by things in this world that can never fulfill us, yet we are still drawn to them. Israel had a very similar problem. For them, the grass was always greener in some other god’s field. No matter how many times God saved them, they were always looking for salvation from some other god, or some other king, or some other thing. What they needed to do was stop and contemplate the reality that they had been chosen by God despite all their sin and failures. In Sunday’s sermon, we will see that this is precisely what Samuel challenges the nation to do, and through his words, we will receive our own challenge.
