Today’s Scripture: I Samuel 3:4
Then the LORD called Samuel, and he said, “Here I am!”
Words of Devotion
Sometimes we forget just how
big God is. In fact, we even forget the truth that God is unfathomably big. We
are short sighted and self-absorbed so often that we neglect a relationship with
a God so amazing. Have you ever felt the Holy Spirit tugging at your heart?
Have you ever felt the nudging and leading of His hand? That voice that
whispers, “Come be with me. Open my word,
internalize its truth, I will transform you.” And then you rolled over
and went back to sleep? Or you decided to keep watching your favorite TV show
instead? If so, then think on this simple analogy:
The President of the United
States of America has just sent for you (imagine it’s the President you have
most admired), there is a shiny black SUV, men wearing sun glasses, black ties,
and ear pieces who have arrived to take you to him. Question: Do you go? Do you
answer the call?
Most of us, if not all,
would answer yes to this question. We would quickly respond to the call of someone
so powerful and important. I’m sure by now you understand where this is headed,
but there is none more important, more powerful, or more worthy of our time
than God! Yet so many times we turn to things so unimportant by comparison, and
ignore the very God who made and saved us. When God calls us, we should be as
Samuel was, responding immediately, “Here I am!”
Think about a time in your
life when you immediately responded to the leading or voice of the Lord?
Did you regret responding? Nope, and you never will.
