We have heard so much about how Eli failed but so little
about his success as a prophet.
When you focus too much on a leader's faults, you will miss
their strengths and lose what you may learn from them.
"And the Lord called Samuel the third time. And he went
to Eli and said, Here I am, for you did call me. Then Eli perceived that the
Lord was calling the boy.
So Eli said to Samuel, Go, lie down. And if He calls you,
you shall say, Speak, Lord, for Your servant is listening. So Samuel went and
lay down in his place." - 1Sam.3:8,9 (AMP)
Eli could hear no more; yet he had such strength of character
that he helped/trained/guided little Samuel to hear.
