The Story
This song starts off with the words that Eli told Samuel to say to the voice that was calling him in the night, while he lived in the temple as a boy. 1 Samuel 3:9,10.
Being open to what God has to say to us is very important and while He rarely, if ever, speaks to us in an audible voice, God does speak to us in various ways. Most often, though we are too busy or our lives are too crowded with noise and distractions to hear (or read) what he has to say.
A lot of the time what he has to say doesn’t match what we want him to say because we are blinded by the wisdom and pursuits of this world so we miss or ignore his voice. Being open to hearing God’s voice means making time and humbling ourselves before him.
It is important to spend time in prayer, reading the Bible and and being connected to other Christians so that we can hear, discern and understand how God is speaking to us, growing us, teaching us, encouraging us and correcting us.
It’s a joyful song expressing a serious commitment to hearing from our God and Saviour.
