Thought for Wednesday January 10

Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.
I have waited, waited for the LORD,
and he stooped toward me and heard my cry.
Blessed the man who makes the LORD his trust;
who turns not to idolatry
or to those who stray after falsehood.
Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.

1 Samuel 3: 1 – 10, 19 - 20    The LORD called to Samuel, who answered, "Here I am." Samuel ran to Eli and said, "Here I am. You called me." "I did not call you," Eli said. "Go back to sleep."  So he went back to sleep.

When I hear myself being called, what do I experience - apprehension, excitement, dread, joy, etc.?  How do I think Samuel felt when he thought he was being called and Eli told him he was not?

Action:  Get plenty of rest so you are ready to respond when you are called.
