This is the second week of our series called “Defining Moments.” Defining moments are brief experiences brimming with meaning. They help us to define or redefine important aspects of our lives. Throughout the Scriptures, God uses moments to reveal himself and his will to his people and his leaders.

This week, we are looking at the life of the prophet Samuel. Samuel was an incredible leader for the nation of Israel. He led the nation militarily, politically, and religiously. His great influence came as a result of one defining moment in his life when he learned one important skill. It is a skill that God wants for each and every one of his people.

Pray today for the grace to learn from the life of Samuel so that God can use you to accomplish great things.
