1 Samuel 3:8โ€“10

Then Eli realized that the Lord was calling the boy. So Eli told Samuel, โ€œGo and lie down, and if he calls you, say, โ€˜Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.โ€™โ€ So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

The Lord came and stood there, calling as at the other times, โ€œSamuel! Samuel!โ€

Then Samuel said, โ€œSpeak, for your servant is listening.โ€

"I promise I'm listening." the teen says to his dad... Even when his eyes are glazed over.

Even face to face with someone we have a tendency to doze off.

God speaks to you through his word. Are you always ready to listen?

There is forgiveness for your inattentiveness. And there is, each day, a chance to live with the word of Samuel on your heart:

Speak, for your servant is listening.

What does my failure to listen reveal about my heart? How does Jesus quiet my heart so I can hear His voice of grace?

1 Sam. 12:23โ€“24 As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by failing to pray for you. And I will teach you the way that is good and right. But be sure to fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you. Read the context Samuel's farewell speech sounds like his other words: focussed on the Lord and on his deliverance. He didn't want the people to forget. There are many things you can pass on โ€” a house, business,...
