The Call

Like Samuel, God calls us all. But unlike Samuel who was sleeping under the ARK OF GOD, some of us sleep (not literally though) in other places but under the ark of God.

                                         

So unlike Samuel, we miss God’s call; causing us to be stuck at that point where we are meant to hear God’s call, answer and do Hid biddings. I think that by the virtue of our dedication to God when we were born, we have been placed at the place where God will call us, just like Samuel. Now, this brings into the picture, Eli. If Samuel did not seek Eli’s opinion and obey his instruction to answer God, Samuel would not be a prophet of God. We all have our Eli, in the form of our parents, our pastors and responsible people around us. It is left for us as a duty, to listen and obey our Eli.

                God used Eli to point the way to Samuel.
