Recognizing When God is Speaking and You (1 Samuel 3)

God spoke to little Samuel, and he repeatedly thought the priest Eli was calling him. Finally, Eli realizes what's going on, and Samuel has a conversation with God.

1 Samuel 3:10-14Living Bible (TLB)

10 And the Lord came and called as before, “Samuel! Samuel!”

And Samuel replied, “Yes, I’m listening.”

11 Then the Lord said to Samuel, “I am going to do a shocking thing in Israel. 12 I am going to do all of the dreadful things I warned Eli about. 13 I have continually threatened him and his entire family with punishment because his sons are blaspheming God, and he doesn’t stop them. 14 So I have vowed that the sins of Eli and of his sons shall never be forgiven by sacrifices and offerings.”
