Samuel simply had to obey the Lord. He was a Prophet and a King-maker but for his ministry to be effective and meaningful he had to obey the Lord. For those of us who serve the Lord in any capacity, even simply serving the Church on the Lord's Day, the key to effective service is simply obeying the Lord.
