. . . (Samuel) ran to Eli, and said, "Here I am, for you called me." But he said, "I did not call; lie down again." So he went and lay down. - 1 Sam 3, 5
What do I run to, mistaking it for the call of God in my life? Could it be that's what this damned empty, dissatisfaction really is: a misinterpretation of God's call?
I was a lot more encouraged by yesterday's session. It is harder today to reject my hopelessness, to trust that God is at work in my life regardless of my feelings. It is harder to respond as Eli taught Samuel: "Speak, for thy servant hears."
