For three times, Samuel heard someone calling him and thought that voice was his mentor Eli. He did not recognize the voice until he was told to say, 'Speak, for your servant is listening.' From then onward, things changed. Samuel never failed to hear from God. He became a significant man; God's important mouthpiece in a time where God's words were few.
These 6 words lingers in my thoughts. 'Speak'...if God were to speak to me today, am I interested to hear from Him? Am I concern about what is in God's heart? 'For your servant'...Am I ready at His service or I have become servant to another or even to myself today? 'Is listening'....Am I listening to God with an obedient heart to act immediately upon hearing His words? or 'Am I listening' to do only what is not too costly or inconvenient?
Samuel at that time maybe young and naive but he had an obedient heart that qualifies him for these 6 words. Do I have what it takes to say these 6 words today?
