Jumala puhuu Samuelille

Samuel stands barefoot between the parted curtains of the sanctuary, startled awake by the voice of the Lord. The elderly priest Eli rests on his bed nearby, wrapped in a patterned covering, while a small cat watches from the foot of the bed. The setting reflects the quiet night in Shiloh when the young servant of the tabernacle first learned to recognize God’s call. In 1 Samuel 3, the Lord speaks to Samuel while the boy is still ministering under Eli, revealing that prophetic faithfulness begins with a listening heart. Samuel’s answer, “Speak, for your servant hears,” makes this artwork especially fitting for children’s ministry, Sunday school lessons, vocation themes, and teaching about obedience, prayer, and hearing God’s word.
