Revelation of God the Father

1 Samuel 25:1–44 (ESV)

1 Now Samuel died. And all Israel assembled and mourned for him, and they buried him in his house at Ramah.

What does 1 Samuel 25 reveal about who God the Father is?

  • The Lord is sovereign. He keeps his servant from committing a grave sin that would disqualify him from the office of king before he has taken up that office.

  • The Lord is just. He brings vengeance in his time on those who do wrong. 

  • The Lord communicates. Through his Word and by the lips of his servants, the Lord guides his people in their daily circumstances.

  • The Lord rewards. Under the terms of the old covenant, the Lord promised blessing for obedience (Deuteronomy 28:1–68).
