This Week’s Devotional

“The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear?” — Psalm 27:1

Reflect on the light that guides you through darkness. Each week we share a devotional to inspire your walk with Christ. Come back every Sunday for a fresh word.


When God Calls Your Name

“Then the Lord came and stood and called as at other times, ‘Samuel! Samuel!’ And Samuel said, ‘Speak, for Your servant hears.’” — 1 Samuel 3:10

Introduction

There comes a moment when the noise of the world fades, and the voice of God breaks through. It’s not always loud. It’s not always expected. But it’s unmistakable. It’s the moment when God calls your name—not just to believe, but to build, to prepare, to lead.

Personal Insight

I’ve felt this calling in the quiet places of my life—after rebuilding myself, reshaping my mindset, and surrendering my pride. I see the world slowly going blind, turning away from truth. Speaking up isn’t enough anymore. You’ll be drowned out by noise, distraction, and resistance. That’s why we must prepare paths wherever we can—digital, spiritual, relational. I use my love for coding to carve out spaces where faith can flourish, even in the shadows.

Main Points

1. God’s Call Is Personal

Samuel didn’t hear a general announcement—he heard his name. God doesn’t call crowds; He calls individuals. He calls you. Not because you’re perfect, but because you’re willing.

2. God’s Call Comes in Stillness

In a world of chaos, God speaks in whispers. Elijah didn’t find Him in the wind or fire, but in the gentle breeze. Are you quiet enough to hear Him?

3. God’s Call Requires a Response

Samuel said, “Speak, Lord, for Your servant hears.” That’s not just listening—it’s surrender. When God calls, He’s not asking for your opinion. He’s asking for your obedience.

4. God’s Call Is Urgent

We live in a time where truth is fading. The world is turning away. We must be more than voices—we must be builders. Prepare paths. Create sanctuaries. Be the light in the digital wilderness.

Application

Closing Prayer

Lord, I hear You calling. I may not feel ready, but I say yes. Speak, and I will listen. Lead, and I will follow. Use me to prepare paths in a world that’s losing its way. Let my hands build what my voice cannot reach. Let my life be a sanctuary for Your truth. Amen.
