1 samuel 3

i stumbled upon a pretty significant verse in my eyes...v. 7 of chapter 3. it just rang out to me. Samuel was being raised in a Godly environment, under the care of Eli. He probably knew the Scriptures extremely well. But still he "did not know the Lord and word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him." What a statement. He knew the Word from teachings, but it had not yet been revealed. God had yet to call, and when He did...Samuel had no choice but to answer. Amazing passage.
