The Word of the Lord Was Rare

1 Samuel 3:1(NKJV)

1Now the boy Samuel ministered to the Lord before Eli. And the word of the Lord was rare in those days; there was no widespread revelation. 

One of the most common laments as people age is a longing for the good old days.  Well here is one example where I am glad it's not the good old days.  Can you imagine not hearing from God very often?  Can you imagine goings days and weeks and months and maybe even years without hearing from God? 

What's that?  You don't hear from God now?  Would you like to?  Would you like to have a direct connection to God so that you hear from Him every day?  Would you like to have God whispering to your heart?  Equipping and guiding you to fulfill the great life He has planned for you?

Then why don't you?  It's totally in your control.  God is sitting right there waiting for you.  The only thing lacking is you initiating that connection.  God won't force it on you.  He will only give it to those who ask.  How do you ask?

Easy.  It starts with accepting Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior.  Once you've done that then the channel is open.  You'll hear from God as often as you want.  Hearing from God will never be rare.  It will be the norm.

Just have a simple conversation with Jesus.  Ask Him to come into your life and guide you.  Something like this.  "Dear Jesus…."
