Have you ever heard God calling?
Some have said they
have perceived the voice of God audibly, while others may claim they have experienced
a tug in their spirits. Others may have been drawn divinely through varied
means.
God certainly
speaks through His Word, open-hearted believers, His own creation and other
avenues of communication.
God willing and by
His strength, I hope to answer “Yes, Lord,” when He beckons me. Belonging to
God is a divine privilege, and I pray for the presence of mind to hear His
summons, as I have heard many times.
I only wonder how
many times I may have missed His voice as well.
I want to be like
young Samuel, who answered positively, once he realized he heard the voice of
the Lord.
Then God came and stood before him exactly as
before, calling out, "Samuel! Samuel!"
Samuel answered, "Speak. I'm your servant, ready to listen."
(1 Samuel 3:10, The Message)
It only took Samuel
a few times (and some wise counsel) to discern God’s voice. Surely the Almighty
One will be both patient and persistent with the rest of us as well. May we not
miss His message.

(Raise your hand,
if you thought I was gonna embed “Yes, Yes, Lord,” rather
than the Rich Mullens classic.)
