上帝在說
讀 經：撒母耳記上3：1－15
金 句：「聖靈有話說：『你們今日若聽他的話，就不可硬著心，像在曠野惹他發怒、試探他的時候一樣』。」（希伯來書3：7－8）
全年讀經：創世記40－42章
幾年前，有位來自密蘇裡州理奇蒙高地的年長市民，竟將雷根總統打給他的電話掛斷了，並且不止一次，竟有六次之多！他不相信接線生所強調的，電話是由白宮打來的。由於他確信是個惡作劇，所以他不願在線上等候。最後西南電話公司的接線生和他的鄰居終於使他相信那不是玩笑。結果此人得以享受與雷根總統閒話家常約15分鐘的特權。
那段小插曲讓我想起幾世紀前，有個年紀輕輕名叫撒母耳的以色列人，所聽到的一聲呼喚（撒母耳記上3：1－15）。他並不明白是誰喊他－－即使呼喚一再傳來。那聲呼喚是由一位比總統還要偉大的人物發出的，那是上帝的呼喚。起先，撒母耳不知如何是好，但當以利告訴他是耶和華要與其說話，他便仔細聆聽。
你曾聽到上帝在對你說話嗎？今天上帝正透過他的文字－－聖經，在對我們說話（提摩太後書3：16－17），他也通過住在我們裡面的聖靈，使我們能夠聽見他的聲音（哥林多前書2：9－16）。
上帝不斷地試著要與我們通話！但重要的問題是：我們願意花時間聆聽嗎？MRD II
我們每天花時間，
用心讀經和禱告，
仔細聆聽主的話，
踏上救贖永生道。Sper
上帝透過聖經對那些用心傾聽的人說話。

God Is Talking
Read: 1 Samuel 3:1-15
Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion. --Hebrews 3:7-8
Years ago, an annoyed senior citizen from Richmond Heights, Missouri, hung up on President Reagan, who was trying to call him. This happened not just once, but half a dozen times! He didn't believe the operator when she insisted that the White House was calling. He was so sure it was a prank that he didn't stay on the line. But the Southwestern Bell operator and a neighbor finally convinced him it was for real. As a result, the man had the privilege of chatting with President Reagan for about 15 minutes.
That incident reminded me of a call received centuries ago by a young Israelite named Samuel (1 Sam. 3:1-15). He didn't realize who was calling--even after the call was repeated. It came from one greater than a president. It was from God Himself. At first Samuel was perplexed, but when Eli told him who was trying to get through to him, he listened.
Have you ever heard the Lord speaking to you? God speaks to us today through His written Word, the Bible (2 Tim. 3:16-17), and indwells us in the person of the Holy Spirit, who enables us to hear His voice (1 Cor. 2:9-16).
God is always trying to get through to us! The important question is this: Are we taking the time to listen? --MRD II
We need to take the time each day
To read God's Word and pray,
And listen for what He might say
To guide us on our way. --Sper
God speaks through His Word to those who listen with their heart.
