Go Lay Down

A third time the LORD called, ‘Samuel!’ And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, ‘Here I am; you called me.’ Then Eli realized that the LORD was calling the boy. So Eli told Samuel, ‘Go and lie down, and if he calls you, say, ‘Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening.’ So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
— 1 SAMUEL 3:8 – 9 (NIV)

God wants our attention. He always has something to tell us, we’re just too busy to stop and listen to Him. We always have this errand to run or that meeting to attend or this tweet to retweet or that Netflix series to watch and God is like, “Hey!” but we don’t hear Him. So, what He will do is call our name through that movie we’re wrapped up in or call our name in the middle of that meeting we’re in and then… He wants us to lay down what’s taking our attention from His voice and listen to Him.

You have so many important things to distract you today, but go lay them down and say, “Here I am, Lord. Speak. Your servant is listening.” You have protest to attend, you have projects to complete, you have loved ones to call, you have dinner to cook, you have a lot of things going that you need to lay down and say, “Speak, Lord.” Jesus has something to tell you today that will change your life and you may miss it if you let life get in the way.

Speak, Lord

Heavenly Father, here I am, Lord. Speak to me today. I am laying everything down so that I can hear Your voice. Your servant is listening. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
