—1 Samuel 3: 1-10
by: Paula Davis.
Have you ever heard the Lord speak to you? Have you given him the opportunity? I love Samuel’s response to the first time the Lord spoke to him. He didn’t question when Eli told him it was the Lord. Samuel lay down and waited. Chuck Swindoll gives an interesting insight to this passage: “These chapters stand as a firm reminder that the Lord will use anyone He chooses to do His will. Although Samuel was very young, the Lord began speaking to him and leading his life. Let’s remember this as we pray for our children and grandchildren. God can speak to the little ones with just as much power (sometimes more!) as when He speaks to those who are grown up. Young or old, God desires to call and lead each of us in His ways.”
