Listening to God: The Story of Samuel’s Obedience

📖 Introduction

Welcome to this 21-day Bible study focused on the incredible story of Samuel and his journey to hear and obey God’s voice. It’s a profound example reminding us that God still speaks today, and even a child’s obedience can change history. Listening to God requires patience, faith, and a heart ready to respond.

The Bible tells us in 1 Samuel that, as a young boy serving in the temple under Eli's guidance, Samuel heard God calling him in the night. Initially unaware it was God’s voice, Samuel learns to answer with openness: “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening” (1 Samuel 3:10). This moment not only changes Samuel’s life but also signals God’s active presence among His people.

Over the next three weeks, we will dive deep into the significance of hearing God rightly, recognizing His voice amidst life's noise, and responding with obedience that impacts your world. These daily reflections, scripture readings, and prayers will encourage you to cultivate a listening heart, much like Samuel.

God longs to speak to each of us personally. The challenge is to be still, quiet our minds, and discern His voice. As we journey through this plan, may you grow in sensitivity to God’s gentle whispers and bold calls to action.

Prepare your heart, open your ears, and let’s embark on this life-changing adventure together.
