God Sees the Faithful

A — What is this about? This passage contrasts the corruption of Eli's sons, who despise God and abuse worship, with the faithful service of young Samuel and the quiet obedience of Hannah. God clearly sees both wickedness and faithfulness. B — Best verse to summarize it "Therefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD, for men abhorred the offering of the LORD." (1 Samuel 2:17) C — What are we called to do? We are called to treat God as holy, to worship Him rightly, and to trust that He sees and honors faithful obedience, even when it seems unnoticed.
