Speak, your servant is listening…

 Speak,your servant is listening…

Our family, along with many others support a Bible publishing ministry which partners with over a thousand other ministries around the world to get the Word of God into people’s hands , written, visually or digitally…Getting the Word to the ends of the earth…translation into as many languages, dialects as possible…each year, thanks to computers, more and more are 

translated  and transported to people waiting to have access to the Word…the most published book in the world…

Reading about Samuel with the description of his time, “the word of the Lord was rare” is so sad…when our generation has so much accessibility to the Word…but, just because we have access, doesn’t mean we access it either……it can still sit on our shelves, we can refuse to listen the Spirit speak and go on our merry way…not paying heed to the Word as they seemingly did in Samuel’s day…each doing right in their own eyes…

I can only pray we heed His Word, His  lessons each day…

Thank YOU…

 Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the Lord in the presence of Eli. And the word of the Lord was rare in those days; there was no frequent vision.

1Sam.3.1

 We do not see our signs;there is no longer any prophet,and there is none among us who knows how long.

Ps.74.9

 “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord God,“when I will send a famine on the land—not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water,but of hearing the words of the Lord.

Amos.8.11

 “‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares,that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh,and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,and your young men shall see visions,and your old men shall dream dreams; even on my male servants and female servantsin those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.

Acts.2.17-18

 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. 

Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith. But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men.

2Tim.3.1-9

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

2Tim.3.16-17

 The Lord came and stood there, calling as at the other times, “Samuel! Samuel!”

Then Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant is listening.”

1Sam.3.10

“Listening and responding is vital in a relationship with God.

 Although God does not always use the sound of a human voice, he always speaks clearly through his Word. To receive his messages, we must be ready to listen and to act upon what he tells us. “ Bible  Study notes…
