“He said to them, “Why do you do such things? for I hear of your evil dealings from all this people.” – 1 Samuel 2:23
When I read this verse, I imagine a concerned father confronting his children about their wrongdoings, filled with disappointment yet yearning for their repentance.
1 Samuel 2:23 reveals a moment of accountability as Eli questions his sons about their wicked actions. This verse serves as a reminder that our actions are not hidden; they affect not only our relationship with God but also how others perceive us. As Christians, we should reflect on our behaviors and ensure that they align with God’s teachings, seeking to live in a way that honors Him and uplifts those around us.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, help us to be mindful of our actions and the impact they have on others. May we strive to live righteously and seek Your guidance in all we do. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
