1 Samuel 2:22-30 – Christian Standard Bible
22 Now Eli was very old. He heard about everything his sons were doing to all Israel and how they were sleeping with the women who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 23 He said to them, “Why are you doing these things? I have heard about your evil actions from all these people. 24 No, my sons, the news I hear the Lord’s people spreading is not good.
25 If one person sins against another, God can intercede for him, but if a person sins against the Lord, who can intercede for him?” But they would not listen to their father, since the Lord intended to kill them. 26 By contrast, the boy Samuel grew in stature and in favor with the Lord and with people.
27 A man of God came to Eli and said to him, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Didn’t I reveal myself to your forefather’s family when they were in Egypt and belonged to Pharaoh’s palace? 28 Out of all the tribes of Israel, I chose your house to be my priests, to offer sacrifices on my altar, to burn incense, and to wear an ephod in my presence. I also gave your forefather’s family all the Israelite food offerings.
29 Why, then, do all of you despise my sacrifices and offerings that I require at the place of worship? You have honored your sons more than me, by making yourselves fat with the best part of all of the offerings of my people Israel.’
30 “Therefore, this is the declaration of the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘I did say that your family and your forefather’s family would walk before me forever. But now,’ this is the Lord’s declaration, ‘no longer! For those who honor me I will honor, but those who despise me will be disgraced.
PRAISE AND WORSHIP
Take praise and worship songs as led by the Holy Spirit.
MFM Daily Devotional – 28th July 2025 – MESSAGE:
Christian Parenting involves instilling godly values in the lives of children. However, one challenge in parenting today is double standard. Another is the fact that many parents do not live the kind of lifestyle their children can imitate.
Often times, parents desire their children to be teachable and live a life worthy of emulation. Hardly will you find a parent who wants their children to end up becoming a deviant. Research reveals that teenagers all over the world regardless of their colour, race and sex learn naturally by the lifestyle and actions of their parents. They rarely hear what you say, but see all you do. Why? Teenagers learn more from what they see than what they are told. You should not tell them to do a thing and you do the reverse. Make sure your words and action match for you to be a Godly example.
In Romans 2:21, apostle Paul asked a question, “Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? Thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?” The word ‘teaching’, according to the book of this verse, transcends mere words of mouth and instructions but an exemplary lifestyle being lived by the parents.
Unfortunately, many parents live contrary to what they say. Decide to make a change in case you are guilty of such.
It reminds me of a story of a man that was always sending his son to buy alcohol for him. A day came when the father caught his son sipping the leftover of the alcohol. He got infuriated and almost beat the boy to stupor. It took the intervention of neighbours who rescued the boy. Though he never wanted his son to drink, yet he always sent the boy to buy it for him. That was double standard and hypocrisy, which teenagers find confusing.
Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” What you do becomes a principle for living for your children and naturally defines their lifestyle.
I pray that the Lord will empower you to train your children and not lead them astray, in Jesus’ Name.
