Samuel, the man of God, knew what was best for God’s people because he listened to God. Do you want something when God has already said, “No”? Listen to the man of God. God speaks through him to you.

Prayer: Lord, help me to be content with what You have given me. You know what’s best even when I want something that is not in Your will. Amen.
