Listen

 Scripture:

“And the Lord came and called as before, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel replied, “Speak, your servant is listening.”” ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭3‬:‭10‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

Samuel was young and growing up in the Temple of the Lord under Eli. He had been given to the Lord by his mother because God gave him as her longed for son. As he was spending time in the presence of the Lord, he heard God’s voice. His reply, which Eli told him to say, was perfect. When he heard God calling, he said, “Speak, your servant is listening.” 

Application:

As believers, we have be ability to hear from God. He doesn’t hide Himself from us. He wants us to pursue Him and seek His face. Our attitude should always remain, “Speak, your servant is listening.” We must put on our listening ears if we want to hear the word of the Lord. I need to spend more time listening to God instead of giving Him all my requests. If we want to hear, we must listen. 

Prayer:

Father, teach me to listen to Your voice. Help me to stay tuned in to what You are saying at all times. Help me to walk in step with You and to walk through every door Your open in front of me. Thank You for open doors. Help me to walk through them with humble obedience so Your name can be glorified and Your kingdom extended.

Yours Forever,

Jeff
