In Favour with Men
And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the Lord, and also with men.- 1Sa_2:26.
Besides being a man of God, Samuel was a man of men. United to his spiritual qualities, there appeared in him those human attributes which are the outcome of all true spirituality. All through his life he knew how to get on with men, because he knew how to get on with God.
