—1 Samuel 3:1-9
by: Cheri Appel.
Have you experienced God speaking to you? Like Samuel, were you unsure of His voice? Has He spoken to you audibly or through another method, being, or thing? Was it a vision, a dream, or did He wake you? God’s thoughts are not our thoughts. He patiently repeats and confirms His message through trusted sources. He provides what we need to carry it out. Samuel did not know God’s voice at first, but eventually, he became quite familiar with it. For safety, sheep learn to follow their shepherd’s voice. We also depend on our Shepherd for life. We can know His voice through sincere practiced listening.
