🔯  Read 1 Samuel 3  🔯

The Lord calls Samuel 

 1 Samuel 3:  

1  -  And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision.

2  -  And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, that he could not see;

3  -  And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep; 

4  -  That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.

5  -  And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down.

6  -  And the LORD called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again.

7   -  Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him.

8 -  And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child.

9   -  Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.  🔯💜💜💜🙏
