Truly great leaders understand that leadership is all about the opportunity to serve people and add quality to their life. Read 1 Samuel 8:10-18 and 12:1-5.

In ancient Israel godly leaders were hard to find. Samuel, one of Israel’s greatest leaders, was one of the few. His life reflects the story of an intimate God-with-man relationship. Samuel loved God and even in childhood began developing the courage and conviction he would need during the difficult days in which he would serve Israel as prophet and judge.
