July 16, 2013 – 1 Chronicles 6 – 6:34

I am assuming that the Samuel that is mentioned is the Samuel that anointed Saul and David given that after they list his sons they talk about David forming the choir.  So, Samuel was a Levite.  I don’t know if I ever realized that or if it is mentioned in the books of Samuel.  Just looked back at the beginning of the book of Samuel and they have the same father, so I will assume they are the same.  Remembering the story of Samuel, he was left with the priest because of his mother’s choice in feeling that God have given her this gift so she would offer it to God.  He wasn’t in that environment just because he was a Levite.  And even though he was a Levite, he wasn’t from Aaron’s line to be a higher ranking Levite.  Just once again showing that God can choose any instrument from any place or background to be His instrument.
