1 Samuel 3:10 And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for your servant hears. I. THE DIVINE CALL, OR, THE REVELATION BY A HUMAN VOICE. II. Now consider — SAMUEL'S PERCEPTION OF ONLY THE HUMAN VOICE. 1. That when young hearts do not recognise God's voice calling them, or His purpose with them, it is not a proof or a sign that God is not with them, or that they are not under religious influence. 2. Again, when repeated special calls are not intelligently responded to by the young we are not justified in thinking that the Lord is not leading them. 3. But let me say to the young, What may seem to you only a human voice may be God's, is God's, if it asks you to love Him. (G. B. Ryley.)
