This term as the weather gets colder and our minds might turn to the unremarkable, we are going to visit a part of God’s word where the unremarkable is the focus. We’re in Old Testament times, but we’re not in the heady days of Noah and the floods, or Moses and the plagues of Egypt. We’re not going to see the Red Sea parted, or fire come down from heaven. We’re just going to focus on a bloke named Samuel, who does have a few sparks of the supernatural, but when we finish this term, nothing much will have been achieved. The mundane remains. The nitty gritty outside the city. ‘Where is God when things are unremarkable?’ ‘When it’s just so so, God what’s the go?’
