God continues to speak in our noisy world, just as He called Samuel by name thousands of years ago. Even in spiritually dark times, God's light never goes out, and He desires to communicate with each of us personally. To hear His voice clearly, we must intentionally position ourselves near Him, away from distractions. God knows us by name and calls us to specific purposes in our lives. The proper response is Samuel's humble attitude: 'Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.' When we create space to hear God, He will guide us faithfully.
