Serving The Lord

It was time for Samuel to lay down his responsibilities as judge of the nation since Israel now had a king. Samuel would continue serving the nation as priest and prophet, but the day to day responsibility of leading the nation now belonged to Saul. So we have in this chapter Samuel's farewell address to the nation which consisted of a challenge to faithful service to God.
1-Service to God is a constant, ongoing demand for His children in spite of their failures.
2-Service to God is a clearly defined demand.
3-Service to God is a benevolent demand.
4-Service to God should be a warmly welcomed demand.
