The LORD called the young Samuel but he could not answer the LORD because he did not know the LORD. The text states that he did not know the LORD because the word of the LORD had not yet been revealed to him. Would you think that knowing the LORD is important? Jesus prayed in the Garden to know the LORD is eternal life, but how are people to know the LORD? It’s clear that people can be close.
