Can You Hear Me Now 1 Samuel 3:1-21
When God is silent, keep talking, v. 1-3 “When you cannot hear God, you will find that He has trusted you in the most intimate way possible — with absolute silence, not a silence of despair, but one of pleasure, because He saw that you could withstand an even bigger revelation.” Oswald Chambers “Oh my God, I cry by day, but You do not answer, and by night, but I find no rest.” Psalm 22:2 ESV “Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.” James 4:8
When God speaks, stop talking, v. 4-14 “He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalm 46:10
When God calls, be available, v. 15-21 “Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.” Proverbs 27:6 “And Yahweh appeared again in Shiloh, for Yahweh revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh through the word of Yahweh.” 1 Samuel 3:21 Lexham English Bible
