Can God’s sovereignty go hand in hand with our responsibility? Do God’s providence requires our obedience?

The book of First Samuel reveals God’s providence at work in a times of uncertainty and spiritual decline. As God faithfully guides His people through imperfect leaders, common people and unexpected events, He calls them to listen to His voice and walk in obedience. Faithful obedience invites blessing; disobedience brings consequences.

As God fulfills His promises, He calls His people to trust Him, listen to His voice, and respond with faithful obedience. This book reminds us that God’s providence never excuses passivity—rather, it summons us to live responsibly under His sovereign care.
