As this chapter unfolds we are introduced to the severity of Eli's sons actions. They treat God and His people as their instruments for pleasure. We can conclude that the men were truly corrupt and have little understanding for boundaries. Eli fails to get control of the situation. His mistake is as a father, a boss and a priest.
Treating God lightly is a dangerous game to play. The sins we commit in private are not so private. The sins we commit in the public eye, reflects more than just our character. Eli and his sons had warning that they did not adhere to.
And now enters Samuel. God's choice to lead a nation of people into His arms.
"Father, break my heart for the sins in my life."
Heart and Soul,
BAG
