Commentary on 1 Samuel 12:20

Theological / Devotional

With all your heart. Servitude to God is a voluntary enslavement resulting from love. Man will do for love what he will not otherwise do. Samuel loved the Lord, and his service was that of a bondslave who delighted to be with his master. As the people witnessed such companionship between Samuel and the Lord, it tended to create the same desire in their own hearts.
