"Speak, for your servant is listening." Eli told Samuel to make this response to God when he heard his voice being called int he middle of the night (1 Samuel 3). Eli helped Samuel to realize that it was God who was calling him and encouraged him to respond with openness and receptivity.
Every day, God whispers to us. He whispers because that is the volume of intimacy and closeness. An important part of our spiritual journey is quieting the noise in our lives that we might hear God's whisper with the ears of our hearts and respond like Samuel.
Think of a time recently when your heart was moved; what was God whispering to you at that moment? What was He trying to teach you? How was He laboring to love to you? In what way did you respond, "Speak, for your servant is listening?"
