Disciple-Making… Discerning God’s Voice

​

Monday: Read John 10:1-5,27

Just as Samuel had to learn to recognize God's voice, how do you distinguish God’s guidance from the background noise of daily life? What helps you tune in?

 

Tuesday: Read Psalm 25:4-5, 143:8-10

Samuel's reply was, "Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening". Is your prayer life more focused on talking or listening? What is one area where you need to surrender control and simply listen to God today?

 

Wednesday: Read 1 Samuel 2:22-25,29

Eli failed to seriously address the sin of his sons because he honored them more than God. Are there areas in your life where compromise or complacency has dulled your sensitivity to God’s holiness?

 

Thursday: Read Luke 16:10-12, Matthew 25:21

Before God called him to lead a nation, Samuel faithfully opened the doors of the house of the Lord and did routine tasks (1 Samuel 3:15). How can you practice faithfulness in the small, unseen tasks God has given you right now?

 

Friday: Read Jeremiah 1:4-10, Acts 4:18-20

Samuel was afraid to tell Eli the vision, but he ultimately shared it honestly (1 Samuel 3:15-18). When have you found it difficult to share a hard truth or stand up for God's ways? Where do you need courage today?

 

Saturday: Read Psalm 78:1-7

Eli's lineage faded, but Samuel’s ministry ushered in a new era for Israel. Who are the spiritual mentors in your life, and who is God calling you to pour into or encourage next?
