And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground. And all Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established as a prophet of the Lord. (1 Samuel 3:19, 20 ESV)

Samuel established himself upon the word of God strengthening his reputation across the land as a man near to The Lord. Being in the Word daily keeps us near to God, giving us opportunity to hear from the creator of the heavens. Why would we ever want to miss out on that?
