Growing in favour with God and Man

Two verses in the Bible talk about growing in stature, in favour with God and with men.

In the NT, a verse often heard in sermons and in bible studies describes the manner in which our Lord Iesous grew up

Luke 2:52
And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.

In the OT, a similar description is made of the young boy Samuel who was to become a renowned prophet of the LORD

1 Samuel 2:26 NIV
And the boy Samuel continued to grow in stature and in favour with the LORD and with men.
