Enduring Word Bible- Words Unfailing

Enduring Word Bible- #11

1 Samuel 3-

The Lord Calls Samuel

I think verse one would resonate with folks today-

"the word of the Lord was rare in those days."

We can jump on the bandwagon with that one.

But, they didn't have the written Word

 as we do today.

We must not forget what a gift that is for us.

His Word is ever present and accessible.

Samuel and Eli had a bit of a communication issue.

Took them awhile to straighten that out.

But, they get on track.

And Samuel grew.

Eli nurtured.

And the Lord kept His Word.

None of His promises fell short, 

or fell to the ground unheeded or unfulfilled.

After all, the Promise Keeper

 has to do just what He says.

And all of Israel from Dan to Beersheba

knew that Samuel 

was established as a prophet of the Lord.

Somehow this story sets

 in my mind differently after 2 times

 of visiting Dan in the land of Israel.

It's a real place where real people lived, 

loved and served the God of Israel.
