Dear Young Christian:
As you head out for the week, let me share a story I remember hearing some time ago:
A young man, Dave, was reading his Bible while riding the rapid transit to work on Monday morning. Someone must have noticed. When the train reached Dave’s stop, a group gathered to exit. Just as the door opened, a stranger leaned over and asked, “Did He speak to you this morning?” Receiving an affirmative reply, the stranger disappeared into the crowd.
It reminded me of what Eli the priest said to Samuel when he realized that the Lord was calling to him one night at the temple. He instructed the young boy to answer, “Speak, Lord; for Thy servant heareth” (1 Samuel 3:9).
Take time to hear the Lord speak to you each morning this week; before you leave your room, while eating breakfast, on the way to work or school. I used to have the Bible narrated on cassette tape so I could listen on the way to work or at the office.
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
