Evening — October 6 — 1 Samuel 3:17

“What was the message He gave you?” Eli asked. “Do not hide it from me. May God punish you, and ever so severely, if you hide from me anything He said to you.” — 1 Samuel 3:17Eli's question to young samuel cuts to the chase: what has God actually said?. The world is full of opinions, philosophies, and hot takes, but the only word that matters is the one that comes from God. Like samuel, we need to open our ears and say, "Speak, LORD, for Your servant is listening.".
