Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

You’re sitting in a darkened theater enjoying a concert, a play, or a film, when suddenly a smartphone screen lights up as a person reads an incoming text and perhaps takes time to reply. In his book The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains, Nicholas Carr says that in our connected world, “The sense that there might be a message out there for us” is increasingly difficult to resist.
Samuel was a young boy when he heard a voice call his name and thought it was Eli the priest in the tabernacle where he served the Lord (1 Sam. 3:1-7). When Eli realized that God was calling Samuel, he told the boy how to respond. When God called his name a fourth time, “Samuel answered, ‘Speak, for Your servant hears’” (v.10). This attentiveness to God’s voice became the pattern of Samuel’s life as “the Lord revealed Himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the Lord” (v.21).
Are we listening for God’s voice in our lives today? Are we more drawn by the vibration of a smartphone than the still, small voice of the Lord through His Word and His Spirit?
May we, like Samuel, learn to discern God’s voice and say, “Speak, Lord. I’m listening.”
Read: 1 Samuel 3:1-10
We are also running Guadalcanal Diary day-by-day. You will find that on one of the replies.
Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
Hey, Lauren! (((hugs)))
Cool road trip! I’ve always wanted to go to San Diego and
see all those navy and marine guys and gals doing their thang!
We have our own road trip before long...woooohooooo! :)
Love Camp Pendleton! Lived there for 3 years. When I was out in San Diego in May, I drove by several times and there is a lot of new construction going on just inside the front gate on Vandegrift. I’m wondering if the big building is a new naval hospital. Does anyone know?
