When God wants our attention!    

Sometimes, there is a challenge you cannot resolve despite your all attempts until you take it to God.

🎯Sometimes you feel restless, as if something’s not quite right.

God’s ways are not our ways. He can use different methods to get us. In the example Samuel, he literally couldn’t rest because a voice kept calling his name in the dark, and he assumed it was Eli the priest calling out.

💥Finally, after the third interruption, Eli realized the boy was hearing God’s voice.

💥For Samuel, the sense of restlessness was physical, but it can also manifest as a mental or emotional feeling.

💥This can be something God uses to guide us toward new insights, as He did in revealing Samuel would become a prophet.

💥At first, this information made Samuel anxious—he was afraid to tell Eli about God’s judgment and didn’t sleep that night. He might even have wished he’d ignored that feeling of uneasiness.

💥Ultimately, though, the distress proved worthwhile: Scripture tells us that “Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and He let none of his words fail”

🎯No matter how or why God lets us feel unsettled, His purpose is always good. So we can trust the Lord and safely investigate our feelings of restlessness without fear.

🎯Seek to listen and obey. Then even if you, like Samuel, aren’t sure where the uneasiness is coming from, God won’t let you miss out.

🎯He is in control and His plans cannot be thwarted.
