Psalm 99:5-6 - “Exalt the LORD our God And worship at His
footstool; Holy is He. Moses and Aaron were among His priests, And Samuel was
among those who called on His name; They called upon the LORD and He answered
them.”
The part of this chapter that caught my eye this morning is right in the middle of verse 6 where it says "Samuel was among those who called on His name." And the reason this caught my eye is because the first story I think about when I think about Samuel is in 1 Samuel chapter 3. In that chapter it tells the story of when Samuel was lying on his bed and the Lord called to him. The Lord called his name, whereas in psalm 99 it says Samuel was among those who called on the name of the Lord. Because God called Samuel he was then counted among those who called on the Lord.
I believe that the things we are able to do, pertaining to the Lord, we are able to do because He did them first for us. We love Him because He first loved us. We can die for Him because He first died for us. We can call on Him because He first called on us.
