Today’s Verse:
Then Eli realized that the Lord was calling the boy. So Eli told Samuel, “Go and lie down, and if he calls you, say, ‘Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place. 1 Samuel 3:8-9
Today’s Message:
Prophet Samuel is one of the famous Bible characters. His obedience and devotion to God are an inspiration for many to follow.
But, there is someone in his life that we should also look at and model.
And that is Priest Eli.
Samuel needed guidance to be able to respond to God. If it were not for Eli, we wouldn’t know if little Samuel could discern God’s voice and instructions.
We often get blinded by the spotlights a famous character gets and tend to overlook the humble side characters that played a great role for the former.
But today, Eli’s story reminds us to be humble and good servants. It doesn’t matter if only a few people will recognize you. As long as God sees your labor, believe that it will not be in vain.
Moreover, let us be discerning of God’s voice so that we can help other people who are seeking God. Let us pray for them that they will get to encounter God more than we have experienced. Shalom!
