Speak Lord, your servant listens

Transcription

1 Speak Lord, your servant listens Many years ago in the time of Eli the prophet, a baby boy was born, who was named Samuel, meaning asked of God. Hannah, Samuel s mother, gave him that name, because for many years she was unable to have children, but God answered her prayers and gave her a son. In thankfulness for this miracle, when the child, Samuel, was old enough, Hannah took him to serve in the Temple with Eli the prophet. One night while Samuel was sleeping, he heard the Lord God calling him. He woke up and said: Here I am and run to see Eli, because he thought that Eli had called him. But Eli said No, I didn t call you. Go back to bed. Two more times the Lord God called Samuel in the same way, and both of these times Samuel went to see Eli. Eli then realized tha God wanted to talk to Samuel. Eli told Samuel to return to his bed, and the next time God would call him, Samuel was to answer the Lord. And so it was, God called Samuel again, this time the boy sat in his bed and answered, Speak Lord, your servant listens. Many years later Samuel grew to be a great prophet who helped many people, including kings. You can read this story in 1 Samuel chapter 3.
