Today’s Devotional titled:
Lord, I Want to Listen

1 Samuel 3:10
“The Lord came and stood there, calling as at the other times, Samuel! Samuel!” Then Samuel said, Speak, for your servant is listening.”

Rehobot Kids, have you ever asked a teacher, “Ma’am, how do I solve this problem?” After asking, you certainly need to pay attention to the teacher’s explanation so you understand what to do. We ask questions because we want to learn. However, we also need to have a heart that is ready to listen when the answer is given.

In the Bible, there was a boy named Samuel. One night, he heard a voice calling his name. At first, Samuel thought it was the priest Eli calling him. After it happened a few times, Eli realized that it was God calling Samuel. Samuel then learned to pay attention to God with a heart ready to listen and obey.

Rehobot Kids, we don’t have to wait to hear God’s voice exactly the way Samuel did. We can know God’s will through His Word and learn to be sensitive to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. For example, when we have an argument with a friend, we might want to stay angry. But when we remember that God teaches us to forgive and love, we can choose to make peace and do what is right.

Come on, Rehobot Kids, let’s have a heart ready to listen, just like Samuel! Take time to read the Bible, pray, and understand what God desires. We can pray, “Lord, I want to listen to You. Teach me what is right and help me to do it.” Don’t just want to listen; learn to obey God’s Word every day, too.
