“Stay here for now, and may the Lord help you keep your promise.

For all the earth is the Lord’s,and he has set the world in order.9“He will protect his faithful ones,but the wicked will disappear in darkness.No one will succeed by strength alone.

Then the Lord called out again, “Samuel!”

And the Lord came and called as before, “Samuel! Samuel!”And Samuel replied, “Speak, your servant is listening.”

I have warned him that judgment is coming upon his family forever, because his sons are blaspheming God3:13 As in Greek version; Hebrew reads his sons have made themselves contemptible. and he hasn’t disciplined them. 

Lord God my Father,

Keep my thoughts pure and focused on you only, remove my tendency to look away. Help me to be quiet so my spirit will only respond to you so my all may honor you.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
