Are you familiar with the story of young Samuel? He kept hearing someone call his name. Wise old Eli realized it was God Himself. On Eli’s advice, Samuel answered the call.
1 Samuel 3:10 (NIRV)
The Lord came and stood there. He called out, just as he had done the other times. He said, “Samuel! Samuel!”
Then Samuel replied, “Speak. I’m listening.”
I wonder — what would we say nowadays?
Speak up, Lord, I’m listening to music.
Not now, Lord, I’m playing my video game.
Oops, my phone dinged.
