🎧 My Favorite BibleBreakdown Episode This Week>>>
My favorite episode this week: 1 Samuel 3.
📚 Speak Lord! We Are Listening. 💪
(1 Samuel 3:10) And the Lord came and called as before, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel replied, “Speak, your servant is listening.”
Observation: God was calling out to Samuel. I will admit to being more in alignment with Eli than Samuel sometimes. I will have young Christians ask me how to hear God’s voice more, and I will give them programs, ideas, and next steps. However, when people feel the drawing of the Holy Spirit to dig deeper, sometimes the best thing we can do is sit in silence with the Lord. The best thing we can do is open our Bible and allow the still, small voice of the Lord to speak to us through His Word. The best way to hear God speak is through reading His Word. It is the chief way He has chosen to reveal Himself to us.
Application: Read God’s Word every day to hear His voice regularly.
Prayer: Thank You for giving us Your Word.
