1 Samuel 6:1-8:22

What God said to me – “I AM” your rock . . . your Ebenezer.  “I AM” your help.  Whatever you need, “I AM” here.  Whatever situation you find yourself in, “I AM” here.  Don’t be afraid.  Don’t be frustrated.  Know that “I AM” always with you.  I know exactly where you are and what My plan is for that particular circumstance and time of your life.  Don’t try to finagle your way out when things get uncomfortable.  Walk with Me.  Allow Me to work in you and through you the things I desire.  I will make the very thing that was such a difficulty for you into a blessing.  Let Me grow your faith.  Let Me transform you.  Trust Me.

1 Samuel 3:1-5:12

What God said to me – The word of the Lord was as rare in those days as it is today – not because I didn’t speak, but because people wouldn’t listen . . . wouldn’t seek Me out.  Don’t be like them.  Spend much time with Me, talking, listening, studying My word.  I want to speak to you often, conversing as we walk together for it’s in this lifelong conversation that I can reveal Myself to you.  As we walk together . . . as we converse – I will teach you – I will correct you – I will encourage you – I will show Myself to you – I will transform you into My image.  Come walk with Me.

1 Samuel 1:1-2:36

What God said to me – Pour out your soul to Me for “I AM” always here for you.  Don’t be afraid for “I AM” always with you.  I guard the steps of My saints.  Walk with Me and you will never have to fear a misstep for “I AM” your guide.  I will direct your path.  When the way gets rough, you can be sure that I sent you that way for a reason.  Nothing catches Me by surprise.  It is not by strength or intelligence or riches that you will prevail – it is by walking with Me, listening to Me and following all I say.  Each step will bring you closer to Me.
