In the passage from 1 Samuel 3:1-10, we witness a pivotal moment in the life of a young boy named Samuel. At this time in Israel’s history, the word of the Lord was rare, and there were no frequent visions. Samuel, a child, served in the temple under the guidance of Eli the priest. One night, as Samuel lay down to sleep, the Lord called out to him. Initially, Samuel thought it was Eli, but after a series of calls, he realized it was the voice of God. This passage reminds us that God often chooses unexpected vessels to deliver His messages, emphasizing the importance of attentiveness to His voice.
