LISTENING
Today's reading: 1 Samuel 1-5

"And the Lord came and called as before, Samuel! Samuel! And Samuel replied, Yes, your servant is listening." 1 Samuel 3:10 NLT

We worry about what God might ask us to do.

We anticipate being given tasks greater than our strengths.

We fret about how comfortable, or uncomfortable, our calling might be on our present way of life.

We concern ourselves with the details that may or may not be revealed to us.

We make ourselves sick or weak with fear of what may be required of us.

And in all reality, all He asks is that we just listen to Him.

Listen.

No distractions. No premeditated conversations. No words spoken on our part.

Listening may be the hardest thing we could ever do--and what may very well bring us the greatest rewards.

My prayer today is that I will honestly and truly say, Lord, Your servant is listening.
