TIME TO WORSHIP
1 Samuel 3:1-10, 1 Corinthians 6:19 The boy who worshipped God.
(When we worship God, He will guide us).
Samuel’s parents didn’t have any children.
His mother went to the temple and promised God her son would be given to Him to serve Him.
When Samuel (the son God gave her) was about 6 years old his mother took him to the temple and gave him to the high Priest.
Samuel lived in the Temple and served God. Eli the Priest was getting old, his sons who served in the Temple did bad and wicked things. God didn’t speak with they because they were so evil.
(When we worship God, He will guide us).
One night as Samuel was in bed sleeping the Lord God called to Samuel.
Samuel awoke and ran to Eli and said “Here I am”. Eli told him to return to bed.
Again, Samuel heard the Lord God call to him and Samuel ran to Eli and said “Here I am”. Eli told him to return to bed.
For a third time Samuel heard the Lord God call to him Samuel ran to Eli and said “Here I am”.
This time Eli knew what was happening, so he told Samuel to go back to bed, but this time when he heard his name being called, to answer “Speak, for thy servant heareth”.
Yes, when we worship God, He will guide us. Oh, not verbally but we will know.
Samuel did what Eli told him to do and God gave Samuel instructions for the Nation of Israel. From that time, Samuel was a Prophet and Priest, serving the Living God.
Yes, believers today serve a Living GOD.
