Listening with Purpose Now the young man Samuel was ministering to the LORD under Eli. And the word of the LORD was rare in those days; there was no frequent vision. 2 At that time Eli, whose eyesight had begun to grow dim so that he could not see, was lying down in his own place. 3 The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was. 4 Then the LORD called Samuel, and he said, "Here I am!" 5 and ran to Eli and said, "Here I am, for you called me." But he said, "I did not call; lie down again." So he went and lay down. 6 And the LORD called again, "Samuel!" and Samuel arose and went to Eli and said, "Here I am, for you called me." But he said, "I did not call, my son; lie down again." 7 Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, and the word of the LORD had not yet been revealed to him. 8 And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli and said, "Here I am, for you called Then Eli perceived that the LORD was calling the young man. Therefore Eli said to Samuel, "Go, lie down, and if he calls you, you shall say, 'Speak, LORD, for your servant hears.'" So Samuel went and lay down in his place. 10 And the LORD came and stood, calling as at other times, "Samuel! Samuel!" And Samuel said, "Speak, for your servant hears." Yesterday we learned about hearing the Word with eagerness and attentiveness. Now, letˇ¦s think about approaching the Bible purposefully, expectantly, and prayerfully. Christians study the Scriptures not just individually but also corporately to learn more about God and His ways. Underlying this simple concept is a big challenge. To gather biblical knowledge with purpose means determining in our heart to obey what we hear (Ps. And to do so expectantly means we believe that the Lord is going to speak specifically to us (Ps. Sermons, Sunday school lessons, and quiet times on our own are all things to be anticipated. God uses these to build us up, strengthen us, or offer us comfort--He certainly makes listening to Him worthwhile. And obedience is the only proper response to this kind of personal attention. Approaching the reading of Scripture prayerfully prepares our hearts to listen well and ushers in an attitude of purpose and expectancy. Todayˇ¦s passage tells the story of young Samuelˇ¦s first encounter with God. The priest Eli gives the boy valuable advice--that when the Lord calls, he should say, ˇ§Speak, Lord, for your servant is listeningˇ¨ (v. 9). Pray those simple words with conviction before you open your Bible, and you will hear God more clearly. If you want to experience God working in your life, come to Scripture with a prayerful, expectant, purpose-filled attitude. The mourner will be comforted. The weary will gain strength. Those convicted of their sin will repent and know peace. All will sense joy. Recognize what a gift Godˇ¦s Word is.

NEDJELJA KROZ GODINU (B) – MISNA ČITANJA Prvo čitanje – 1 Sam 3, 3b-10. 19 Čitanje Prve knjige o Samuelu U one dane: Samuel je spavao u svetištu Gospodnjem, ondje gdje je bio Kovčeg Božji. Tada Gospodin zovnu Samuela. ” On odgovori: “Evo me!” I otrča k Eliju i reče: “Evo me! Ti si me zvao!” A Eli reče: “Ja te nisam zvao. Vrati se i spavaj!” On ode i leže. I Gospodin opet zovnu Samuela. Samuel usta, ode k Eliju i reče: “Evo me! Zvao si me!” A Eli odgovori: “Ja te nisam zvao, sine! Vrati se i spavaj!” Samuel još nije poznavao Gospodina i još mu nikada ne bijaše objavljena riječ Gospodnja. I Gospodin zovnu Samuela po treći put. On usta, ode k Eliju i reče: “Evo me! Zvao si me!” Sada Eli razumije da je Gospodin zvao dječaka. Zato reče Samuelu: “Idi i lezi; ako te zovne, ti reci: ‘Govori, Gospodine, sluga tvoj sluša.'” Samuel ode i leže na svoje mjesto. I dođe Gospodin i stade i zovnu kao prije: “Samuele! Samuele!” A Samuel odgovori: “Govori, sluga tvoj sluša.” Samuel je rastao, a Gospodin je bio s njim i nije pustio da ijedna od njegovih riječi padne na zemlju. Evo, dolazim, Gospodine, vršiti volju tvoju! Uzdah se u Gospodina uzdanjem silnim, i on se k meni prignu i usliša vapaj moj. U usta mi stavi pjesmu novu, slavopoj Bogu našemu. Žrtve i prinosi ne mile ti se, nego si mi uši otvorio: paljenica ni okajnica ne tražiš. Tada rekoh: “Evo dolazim! U svitku knjige piše za mene: milje mi je, Bože moj, vršit volju tvoju, Zakon tvoj duboko u srcu ja nosim.” Tvoju ću pravdu naviještat’ u velikom zboru, i usta svojih zatvoriti neću, Gospodine, sve ti je znano. Drugo čitanje – 1 Kor 6, 13c-15a. 17-20 Čitanje Prve poslanice svetoga Pavla apostola Korinćanima Braćo! Ne tijelo bludnosti, nego Gospodinu, i Gospodin tijelu! Ta Bog koji je Gospodina uskrisio i nas će uskrisiti snagom njegovom. Ne znate li da su tijela vaša udovi Kristovi? A tko prione uz Gospodina, jedan je duh. Bježite od bludnosti! Svaki grijeh koji učini čovjek, izvan tijela je, a bludnik griješi protiv svojega tijela. Ili zar ne znate? Tijelo vaše hram je Duha Svetoga koji je u vama, koga imate od Boga, te niste svoji. Jer kupljeni ste otkupninom. Proslavite dakle Boga u tijelu svojem! Evanđelje – Iv 1, 35-42 Čitanje svetog Evanđelja po Ivanu U ono vrijeme: Stajaše Ivan s dvojicom svojih učenika. Ugleda Isusa koji je onuda prolazio i reče: “Evo Jaganjca Božjega!” Te njegove riječi čula ona dva njegova učenika pa pođoše za Isusom. Isus se obazre i vidjevši da idu za njim, upita ih: “Što tražite?” Oni mu rekoše: “Rabbi” – što znači: “Učitelju – gdje stanuješ?” Reče im: “Dođite i vidjet ćete.” Pođoše dakle i vidješe gdje stanuje i ostadoše kod njega onaj dan. Bila je otprilike deseta ura. Jedan od one dvojice, koji su čuvši Ivana pošli za Isusom, bijaše Andrija, brat Šimuna Petra. On najprije nađe svoga brata Šimuna te će mu: “Našli smo Mesiju!” – što znači “Krist – Pomazanik”. Dovede ga Isusu, a Isus ga pogleda i reče: “Ti si Šimun, sin Ivanov! Zvat ćeš se Kefa!” – što znači “Petar – Stijena”.
