G-TRAX Devo's-Old Testament Snapshots: Samuel

Sometimes you and I live a life that is so noisy that we can't hear God, even if we were listening. Now, when I talk about living a "noisy" lifestyle, I'm not talking about noise you can hear with your ears. I'm talking about noise that your heart hears. Sometimes we fill our lives so full with "stuff" that we crowd out God. When we make our lives so busy that we don't take the time to just listen to God, that's when our lives become too noisy to hear God. Samuel had to learn to "hear" God just like the rest of us. At an early age Samuel spent his time learning about God from a priest named Eli so that he would learn to hear God's voice. Samuel would need to hear the voice God as the high priest during the time of King Saul and King David.
