#soap # 1 Samuel 02 ## Title: Good Things Grow When No One Is Looking ## Scripture: (1 Samuel 2:26) “However, the boy Samuel was growing up and finding favor both with the Lord and with people.” (NET) ## Observation: We talk a lot about how bad things grow in darkness. This is true. However, good things also grow away from the focus of others. That is what a true legacy looks like. It is when people quietly go about doing the right thing for the right reason. During all this chaos of the sons of Eli, Samuel is slowly growing up to become a man of God. Don’t worry when all the bad gets all the press. Keep doing the right things for the right reasons and trust God to point you in the right direction. ## Application: Keep focus and keep growing. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for leading us.
