Hey Everyone-I think I have finally figured out the posting comments issue-at least I have on my other blog- femalefootballfans.blogspot.com-so please post comments!
Today's Scripture is something that I heard preached today that really had an impact on me-1 Samuel 3: 10--a very simple verse in some ways, but very profound in another.
1 Samuel 3:10--"Now the LORD came and stood and called as at other times,"Samuel, Samuel!" And Samuel answered, "Speak, for Your servant hears." "
Before I explain the context, let's address the simple and obedient response from Samuel. "Speak, for Your servant hears"-do we do that as Christians today? Do we stop and wait to hear the LORD? Are we ready to listen when God calls or speaks to us? Are we even able to hear His voice among the chaos of our lives, let alone be obedient and willing when we do?
Samuel is set apart for God by his mother, Hannah. She prays to God for Him to bless her with a child and promises that she will give him back to the LORD, if He does. So Hannah dedicates Samuel to the LORD through Eli, the prophet. Eli is Samuel's mentor and he tells Samuel he must listen for God. He doesn't just tell Samuel what to do or what he thinks God is saying. He tells Samuel-he must listen to God's voice and obey Him.
I pray that we all are obedient and willing when God calls us--for an obedient heart is a happy heart.
