1Samuel ; Chapter 3 Verse 9-10
The Lord Calls Samuel
Then Eli realized that the Lord was calling the boy. 9 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.
10 The Lord came and stood there, calling as at the other times, “Samuel! Samuel!”
Then Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant is listening.”
Lord called Samuel 4th time and then he replied to Lord
تب عیلی سمجھ گیا کہ خداوند اس لڑکے کو پکار رہا تھا۔ 9 عیلی نے سموئیل سے کہا ، “بستر پر جا ؤ اگر وہ دوبارہ پکارے تو کہو ، ’ کہئے خداوند میں آپ کا خادم ہوں میں سُن رہا ہوں۔”‘
اسلئے سموئیل بستر پر واپس گیا۔ 10 خداوند آیا اور وہاں کھڑا رہا وہ پکا را جیسا کہ پہلے کہا تھا اس نے کہا ، “سموئیل ! سموئیل !”
سموئیل نے کہا ، “کہئے میں آپ کا خادم ہوں اور سُن رہا ہوں”
My point of view about above verses
Eli said to his sons that if someone sin against another man – God may mediate for the offender but if anyone sins against Lord- who will intercede for them – but they didn't listen to their father as it was Lord’s will to put them to death
God wants us to give him importance more than anything in the world - worship Him, offer Him and all will go well with us - otherwise be prepared for punishment as God punished Eli and his sons and raised Samuel up for priesthood
Lord called Samuel - how wonderful is it if God calla us - as He called Samuel by name
Lord called Samuel fourth time and he heard and responded as Eli told him to say God - Lord speak your sevant is listening - This was Samuel response to God
May God give us wisdom to understand Him through His Word as He speaks with us through this - and apply it in our lives to have a blissful life on earth
