1Samuel 3
How Samuel serves God
--Samuel, even as a boy, understood himself as a servant. He
wanted to please Eli, and he recognized that Eli needed his help,
and he wanted to give it.
--Samuel accepted the responsibility that much older people should
have been carrying in the temple.
--Samuel listened. He listened first to Eli. Then when Eli told
him to listen to the voice he kept hearing, he listened to God.

Samuel
did not hear the Lord the first, or second time the Lord
had called him; he was not ready.
How do we know if we are ready to become a servant of
God?”
A person with the willingness to help other people is one who is ready to because
a servant. The willingness to do what has been asked of you and is reliable.
Responsibility is key for a servant of God. Samuel was certainly responsible
in his life of serving God. With responsibilty, you are able to see/hear when
the Lord is calling for you to serve.
