Listen

Wednesday January 18th 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." What happened after Samuel realized that it was God who was calling after Eli had given him that bit of wisdom, was that Samuel responded. That is when the magic starts. Most of the time communication between God and us is a one way street, God is talking to us and trying to get our attention. Sometimes it is two one way streets, God is talking to us and trying to get out attention and we are too busy talking past God telling God and the world what we think God would tell us if God were as smart as we were. Pat Robertson is a case in point. But then, once in a while, we pick up the phone and say hello, I’m listening. That is when the wonderful begins. The key is listening.
