+------My Turn; Samuel's Words To Eli In The Tabernacle After Hearing God's Beckoning

And my parents would talk during
their visits of God's canon of empathy
for the oppressed. That yearning souls of
Hebrews for freedom make Him speak.
How Moses from a Bush flaming but
not consumed, in white smoke
veiled like clouds heralding sunrise,
heard unremitting whispers only
angels hear. Epithets blazing against
a Pharaoh. Enoch, Noah, Gideon too.
Now its my turn, I guess, to respond like
them: “God, Here I am…”(A trembling
child to save his nation from Canaanites). 


------1 Samuel 3:1-12
And the child Samuel ministered unto the Lord before Eli. And the word of the Lord was precious in those days; there was no open vision. And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, that he could not see; And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep; That the Lord called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I. And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down. And the Lord called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again. Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, neither was the word of the Lord yet revealed unto him. And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the Lord had called the child. Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, Lord; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place. And the Lord came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth. And the Lord said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle. In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end.
