Speak Lord, your servant is listening

Today's Old Testament reading came from 1 Samuel 3:1-10.  It's the account of God calling the young boy, Samuel.   As a child, this always had a special meaning and I promised that if God ever called me, I would respond just like Samuel.

It is a profound experience to hear God's call.  It brings with it great responsibility to honour His Name and fulfil His purposes.  As a fully accredited local preacher, I have begun that journey God has mapped out for me, and I am sure there are a few more hurdles to climb before my ultimate purpose will be revealed.
