Scripture Union Daily Guide 21st September 2024 Outline:
While the message from the Lord was rare, Samuel, living in the presence of the Lord, heard him call (3:1-4). We live in an increasingly busy world that gives little or no room to stop and listen. We struggle to listen to fellow humans talk less of listening to God. What does it take for Samuel to identify and listen to the voice of God (vs.4-6)? Eli was there to guide Samuel to identify the voice of God. It took a while for him to realize that God was calling Samuel. Where are the disciples who would guide the young converts to navigate the path of their faith?
When Samuel got past the initial hurdle and identified God’s voice, he settled down to listen. The message was a difficult one (see vs.11-14). Such messages are the type one would rather avoid but God wanted the truth told and Samuel was the vessel to convey that. What message has God given to us to convey to our family, friends, and those around us. The gospel is a task, a truth we are called to pass onto our world.
Eli may have suspected the content of the message. This was a follow up to what God had told him before (2:27-36). Eli’s response seems as if he had lost all hope over his children (v.18b)? Notice the testimony about Samuel (vs.19-4:1a) and the reason for his success in v.19.
