1Sa 7:17 | MHM | STEP | v. 17 : Samuel’s home base was in Ramah, where he also served as a judge (1 Samuel 7:17 ). There, he built an altar to the Lord for worship, as there was no central place of worship at the time. This was not done in rebellion against God’s law but out of necessity, as the tabernacle was no longer in its proper place. Samuel used his influence to encourage worship and maintain a connection with God in his community. Great leaders seek to promote faith and godliness wherever they live.
