OT Notes for Jan. 15- I Sam. 3:1-20, Ps. 139:1-6, 13-18

1) Does verse 1 b hit us between the eyes?
2) Eli's sight is dim toward the actions of his sons. the dim eyesight is here compounded by sleep, but he can hear Samuel wake him up, at least physically , and after a while, spiritually.
3) Please note the humor in this story of the sleepy Eli.
4) Why is Here I am a proper biblical response do you think?
5) verse 7 is worthy of some extended consideration.
6) v.10 emphasize listening. Again, listening in prayer is worth attention in sermon, bible study, or spiritual development.
7) The words heard are difficult for Eli and Samuel to her.Eli means my God, and Samuel could be heard of or by God as would fit Hannah's prayer.
8) Now in the daytime, isn't heartbreaking that Samuel says here I am again? What do you think of Eli's inquiry and response?
9) In v. 19 when do words "fall to the ground?"
