“Then Samuel said, ‘Speak, for your servant is listening’” (1 Samuel 3:10).
A calling from God isn't limited to preachers, teachers, and missionaries. All believers in Christ Jesus have a calling to follow Him, share the Good News with unbelievers, and disciple other people in the faith. The story of Samuel’s calling from God reveals how it’s never too early for a child to surrender their heart to Him and listen for His voice.
When God called out to Samuel, he wasn't sure who was calling; however, he was confident that someone did. After the third time, Eli gave Samuel the right instructions for listening to God. As parents we can follow Eli’s example and give our children direct insight on how to hear from God through His word.
