1 Samuel 3

As we look at Samuel’s life, we see that from the beginning he was destined for great things ( 1 Sam : 1-2). As a boy he lived in the Temple with Eli and was being groomed to be a Priest at a very young age. In chapter 3 we see that Samuel was lying near the Ark, this shows that he was eager to hear from God and was open to it, although as Scripture states that in those days the word of the Lord was very rare. Because it was rare, and it had never happened to Samuel before he naturally thought it was Eli calling. Eli guided him and told him what to do; it helps to have a teacher/leader guiding you in new things of God - one who has been there. There is a lot to be said for being open, prepared and teachable when listening for God’s voice. This was the beginning of Samuel’s ministry and from this time on Eli began to fade and God began to use Samuel more and more. Even though it wasn’t good news that God told Samuel, he was faithful and willing to serve and God continued to use him.
