In those days the word of the Lord was rare; there were not many visions. 1 Samuel 3:1

The word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to Samuel. 1 Samuel 3:7

“Speak, for your servant is listening.” 1 Samuel 3:10

The Lord continued to appear. There he revealed himself through his word. 1 Samuel 3:21

Lord, in the past your Word was rare, yet you revealed yourself to those who listened for your voice. Lord, today I ask that you appear and reveal yourself to me through your word. Help me to hear your voice calling to me through your Holy Spirit. 

We must continually keep our soul open to God’s creative purpose. Oswald Chambers
