And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision. | ||
| 1 Samuel 3:1 | ||
| The word of the Lord was precious - or rare. Speaking to believers in Revelation 3:20, Jesus says, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any man hear My voice and open the door, I will come in and sup with him and he with Me.” In other words, the question isn’t whether Jesus is speaking. The question is: Are we listening? There’s no question God speaks. Psalm 29 tells us His voice is so powerful that it moves mountains and clears forests. The question is, are God’s people tuning in? Are they able to perceive and receive the Word He speaks constantly? There are numerous voices speaking via radio and television waves traveling through any given location. The fact that we don’t hear them is not because those voices aren’t present, but because we’re not tuned in to them. Our antenna isn’t up, our TV sets aren’t on. The same thing is true spiritually (John 10:27). Our Shepherd speaks constantly. The question is, are we tuned in to His frequency? Am I picking up and receiving what He’s saying?
