Thursday, January 14: Scripture – 1 Samuel 3:6-7
6 The Lord called again, “Samuel!” Samuel got up and went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” But he said, “I did not call, my son; lie down again.” 7 Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, and the word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him.
Prayer Focus: The Lord calls Samuel again and Samuel answers with the same response – he runs to Eli. Samuel does not yet know the Lord and the word of the Lord has not yet been revealed to him. So he does not understand what is happening. I suspect this is a very common experience as we seek to hear and respond to God’s call. We fail to understand or we hear and do not know the proper response. Pray for a spirit of wisdom and understanding today.
