Lessons from Samuel’s Calling - Speak, Lord—The Heart That Listens (I Samuel 3:10)

This week we’re studying the topic The Servant’s Heart: Lessons from Samuel’s Calling.Today, we come to one of the most powerful moments in Samuel’s calling—a simple but profound response that captures the very heart of a true servant. After hearing God’s voice and receiving wise instruction from Eli, Samuel answers with words that still echo today: “Speak; for thy servant heareth.”What would change in our lives if we began each day with that posture—ready not just to hear from God, but to obey?“And the Lord came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.” —1 Samuel 3:10 (KJV)
