Reading – 1 Samuel 3-4

Highlight Verse:

“As Samuel grew up, the Lord was with him, and everything Samuel said proved to be reliable.”
‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭3‬:‭19‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I wish that could be said about me!

Hopefully I will prove reliable for the rest of my life and ministry.

What was Samuel’s secret to success?

1 – He was open to hearing from God.
2 – He got to know God’s voice.
3 – He was honest and open about what God said.

We can follow Samuel’s example.

1 – We should go into Bible study and prayer with an open mind and heart to the truth that God wants to bring to us.
2 – Our open mind should be tempered by how well we know the Lord’s voice. We know His voice by learning His Word. Scripture should be taken in the context of the whole Bible.
3 – We should be open about sharing the Word of God, not shoving it in people’s faces but living in such a way that they would want to hear about it from us the way people would come to Samuel for the Word.

Would you like to be successful in sharing God’s Word like Samuel?
Are you willing to take the time to get to know God’s voice in His Word?
