the Lord. And Samuel feared to shew Eli the vision.

Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here am I.
17 And
he said, What is the thing that the Lord hath said unto thee? I pray
thee hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide any
thing from me of all the things that he said unto thee.
18 And
Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is
the Lord: let him do what seemeth him good.

Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and did let none of his words
fall to the ground.

all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a
prophet of the Lord.

the Lord appeared again in Shiloh: for the Lord revealed
himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the Lord.

DAILY
MANNA FOR TODAY
Martin
Luther Jr once said, “A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is
right. A man dies when he refuses to stand up for justice. A man dies when he
refuses to take a stand for that which is true”. People who should speak and
act the truth, but refuse are cowards. Regardless of its repercussion, nothing
compares with the truth.
Bewildered
by a divine revelation against his master, Eli, young Samuel pondered on the
weight of the message of the revelation and the challenge of relaying it to
him. Sensing that the message was important, Eli resorted to threatening Samuel
to relay it fully and faithfully. Despite the bewilderment, Samuel relayed
God’s message to Eli and his house without missing a thread. Though an
unpleasant message with a colouration of judgment, yet the young Samuel “told
him every whit” of what God had determined against his house. On his part, Eli
did not pray to God or restrain his children from their evil conducts. He
merely accepted God’s verdict.
We
live in an age when many no longer hear from God. Many who claim to hear from
Him or know the truth shy away from declaring the whole counsel of God to the
world. Our society today is full of men and women who profess to love God and
know the truth, but fail to denounce sinful practices.
As
believers, we must declare the whole truth, not minding whether it touches the
“masters” or the “revered”. In times like this, keeping silent in the face of
flagrant disobedience to God’s word and disregard of Christ’s provision for
salvation is dangerous for sinners and believers alike.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Only the truth of God’s word truly sets free.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
