Thursday, May 23. 2013 - Calling

When Samuel heard God summoning, he jumped up and ran to Eli, who as the nearest person seemed like the logical choice to run to. Samuel was not used to hearing ethereal voices and it took him several times to finally get it, even though Eli was insistent that he did not call. It was not until Samuel finally stayed still that he learned the true source of the bidding. How often do we see signs and interruptions that send us running to find the source or solution, only adding confusion and conflict to our lives. Sit still, lay down, calm your soul and be open to the call our Lord is sending. - Becki
