Listen!! There are many voices speaking, learn to know the difference!
1 Samuel 3:1-10(TMSG)
1The boy Samuel was serving God under Eli’s direction. This was at a time when the revelation of God was rarely heard or seen.
2One night Eli was sound asleep (his eyesight was very bad—he could hardly see).
3It was well before dawn; the sanctuary lamp was still burning. Samuel was still in bed in the Temple of God, where the Chest of God rested.
4Then God called out, “Samuel, Samuel!” Samuel answered, “Yes? I’m here.”
5Then he ran to Eli saying, “I heard you call. Here I am.” Eli said, “I didn’t call you. Go back to bed.” And so he did.
6God called again, “Samuel, Samuel!” Samuel got up and went to Eli, “I heard you call. Here I am.” Again Eli said, “Son, I didn’t call you. Go back to bed.”
7(This all happened before Samuel knew God for himself. It was before the revelation of God had been given to him personally.)
8God called again, “Samuel!”—the third time! Yet again Samuel got up and went to Eli, “Yes? I heard you call me. Here I am.” That’s when it dawned on Eli that God was calling the boy.
9So Eli directed Samuel, “Go back and lie down. If the voice calls again, say, ‘Speak, God. I’m your servant, ready to listen.’” Samuel returned to his bed.
10Then God came and stood before him exactly as before, calling out, “Samuel! Samuel!” Samuel answered, “Speak. I’m your servant, ready to listen.”
We have many voices, speaking to us, family, friends, co-workers, media (Radio, Tv , Movies, Intenet) the world system.along with our adversary the devil and God. We have to learn to recognise who we are listening to. it took Eli several times to understand that God was wanting to talk to the Boy Samuel. once we have learned to understand and to know the difference between the enemy and our Daddy God. we need to help others!!
Find someone today and help them to Recognise the Voice of God
Be a blessing in all your travels, Sir Gregory
