Today I read 1 Samuel 3, in which the Lord calls Samuel by name.  Today I considered that even as a child we can listen to God so that we continue to hear from God.

God Called

God called the child, he listened and became a prophet (1 Samuel 3:1-21). The child Samuel served the Lord under the guidance of Eli. Eli grew old and was losing his sight. God called Samuel three times in one night and Samuel ran to Eli thinking it was Eli. Eli told Samuel the third time it was the Lord and to listen to God. The fourth time God called Samuel, Samuel listened and was told about a great thing coming and the judgment upon Eli as a sign. When Eli asked, Samuel told him everything God told him. God was with him and everyone knew Samuel was a prophet who heard from God again. We are to listen so that we can hear God again.

Questions and Thoughts for Today

Children can hear from God even at young age.

Are you encouraging the children in your life to have a relationship with God?
