The prophet is God's precious vessel!
Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. (Psalm 105:15)

The prophet is a precious vessel of God. His words always bring hope and enrichment to the individual, congregation and community. Through his connection with the Lord, the prophet offers the individual a revelation and future destination in a short-time moment. The experience for the listener is an opportunity to let go of their past, their pain, superficiality and their cynicism, and just to accept the grace and love of God! The listener is made aware that life-future- time enrichment is a Divine gift offered to them in an short (to be accepted) opportunity!

Samuel established as a prophet of the Lord!

And all Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the Lord. (1 Samuel 3:20) 
All Israel was conscious of the fact that Samuel was God's chosen leader in place of Eli and the priests. All in his family were either under Samuel, the last judge. Israel turned to Samuel. Samuel was speaking as God's representative, giving comfort, faith, correction, Judgment and assurance to a burdened soul! His own mother Hannah was a prophetess! It turned out to be a prophecy to Hannah was fulfilled! (1 Samuel 1:19-23). Samuel spoke only as God inspired him, so every prediction was literally fulfilled! He gave only sound advice to Israel, so all his counsels were received as coming from God! Samuel was also the prophet who anointed David, the "future" king of Israel! (Picture ↑)

Precious in God's sight!

Since thou were precious in my sight, thou hast been honorable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. (Isaiah 43:4) 

Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me. (Isaiah 49:16)  This is a figurative way of saying that God would never forget His people and that they would be in everlasting remembrance before Him! It was the Prophet Isaiah who brought this message, inspired by God and was speaking as God's representative Prophet, giving comfort,  and assurance to a burdened soul of the Israelites! The prophet was used as a precious vessel from God! Precious for God and precious for the people who received his message! He that had an ear let him hear what God is still saying through His prophets today!
