1 Samuel 3; Psalms 51; Acts 27:13-44:
One night Eli, whose eyes were becoming so weak that he could barely see, was lying down in his usual place. The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the house of the Lord , where the ark of God was. Then the Lord called Samuel. Samuel answered, "Here I am." And he ran to Eli and said, "Here I am; you called me." But Eli said, "I did not call; go back and lie down." So he

Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening"
Morning “Give therefore Thy servant an understanding heart.” 1 Kings 3:1 , 1 Kings 3:3-15 We will now pursue the path of history, and enter upon the reign of Solomon. 1 Kings 3:1 A questionable beginning, a step full of danger. 1 Kings 3:3 This was contrary to express precept, yet the Lord dealt not severely with Solomon, for he saw that his heart was right before him. 1 Kings 3:5 Solomon worships God by day God appears to Solomon by night.

Words to Ponder
The knowledge which is given to the Christian is almost an instinctive knowledge. I think the best analogy is this. It is comparable to the knowledge which a man has who is in love with a woman. It is not possible for him to sit down and write out a philosophical account of his love, he cannot explain it rationally: he knows it, but here his reason ceases. The great love which reason and knowledge do not understand - that is it. We know, because we have love and love recognizes love, and love attracts love. The little lamb cannot give you a rational reason why it should pick out one sheep as its mother but it knows that sheep is his mother. The Christian's knowledge of his Lord is something like that, he knows and he knows the way of salvation. People say, 'I cannot understand why one man had to die on the cross for all,' but the Christian does understand. He cannot fully understand the doctrine of the atonement, but he is not in any trouble over the fact that the sins of the world were laid upon the innocent body of the Son of God. He has the mind of Christ and an understanding of these things by means of this unction of the Holy Spirit. Spiritual truths are not strange to him, they are life, they are everything. He delights in them, he lives by them and his one desire is to know more and more. - Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1899-1981)
