1Sa 3:10 Then the LORD came and stood and called as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel answered, “Speak, for your servant hears.”
God had called Samuel two times and Samuel thought that it was Eli who was calling him. For two times, Eli told Samuel to go back and sleep. It was until the third time when Eli realized it was God who was calling Samuel. He instructed Samuel to go lie down and upon hearing the voice he was to respond “speak, Lord, your servant is listening”. When God called the fourth time, he responded appropriately.
Christian friends, how many times have we, like Samuel, missed it out. How many times have we confused the voice of God with that one of our spiritual leaders, friends, and bosses? Ourselves etc? God is still speaking. Next time He calls, remember to respond appropriately; speak, your servant is listening.
🙏Blessed day🙏
