Shade tree wisdom 7/15/16

GPD 7/15/16 Surely this is a life-long process, is it not? “Now the young man Samuel Continued to grow Both in stature and in favor With the Lord, a Also with man.” 1 Samuel 2, 26, Growing is a natural process, some get bigger and taller, others are a bit shorter. But the emphasis here ought to be on the word “favor”. In other words, he continued to grow into a person people liked and respected, and in then sought out for advice. He was a prophet sought out for his acumen and kindness. Something we too ought to try to emulate. GPD 7/15/16
