Devotion:
Read 1 Samuel 3:1-10.
The young boy Samuel follows instructions that guide him to having his first personal encounter with God. Samuel’s first response was to run to Eli, because he had not heard God’s voice before. Eli, being sleepy, dismissed Samuel and told him to return to his bed. However, on the third call, Eli realized it must be God and guided Samuel in how to respond.
God was persistent in getting Samuel’s attention and it is true for us as well. Listening and responding is paramount to a relationship with God. God does not always use the sound of a human voice, but he always speaks clearly through his Word. To receive his messages, we must be ready to listen and to act on what he tells us. Are you ready to say, “Here I am” when God calls you to action?
Personal Worship Option:
Thank God for his Voice in your life. Reflect on what God is speaking into your life. What is He asking of you?
