1 Samuel 1-3
God revealed Himself to Samuel through His word! At first, Samuel didn't recognize God. In fact, it took the teaching from Eli to help Samuel understand. With Eli's instruction, Samuel was able to hear God's word and become a mighty man of God through that word. It really isn't that much different for us today. We're told that faith comes by hearing the word of God, and that hearing comes through one sent by God to teach, and that same word makes us into mighty men and women of God. The only real difference is that He doesn't audibilize as He did with Samuel. But, the Word is still the same, and it is still just as powerful, if not more so! We need to open ourselves up to His word, as Samuel did. In so doing, we will be blessed beyond measure!
