eli

I am humbled by Eli. If you haven't read this story in a while, I encourage to look at I Samuel again. Samuel receives a revelation from the Lord concerning Eli and Eli says: " let me have it... don't hold back anything."

Samuel then says: " God is going to judge you because of how you have raised your sons..."

Eli's response: " It is the Lord; let Him do what seems good to Him." "

I am troubled by this passage and at the same time I admire Eli's response. Can you say that about your situation today:

"It is the Lord; let Him do what seems good to Him."
