Do You Hear God Calling You?
Dr. Darrow Perkins
1 Samuel 3:1-10
Modern technology has given us the ability to monitor, search, and screen the phone calls we receive. When the telephone rings, the caller ID lets us know who is on the other end. There are times when we will take the call and other times we won't take the call. We're glad that we know who's calling before we answer the phone. It's something how just 20+ years ago, this ability was not available, yet today, almost every household has it. Even our cell phones let us know who is on the other end! Of course, this has positive and negative implications as we will have to deal with everyone eventually. It's been said, ''you can run, but you can't hide!'' and knowing that God is Omnipresent, we can never hide from Him.
As we go through life, we come across a variety of people from all walks of life and because of this, we become familiar with their voices and actions. For example, if your mom called you from across the room, that's a very distinct voice and you know that it's mom calling you. If it's your best friend, you can recognize their voice as well. In these last days in which we live, there are other voices that are calling us that can and will lead us to destruction and doom. That's the voice of society that says, ''if it feels go, do it!'' all around us. We must be sure when we hear a voice that we're able to recognize it and answer accordingly. So the question remains, Do You Know Who's Calling You?
The text is found in the book of 1 Samuel. This book, along with 2 Samuel was originally one book and was separated about 150 BC when the Old Testament was translated into Greek. 1 Samuel was written to the Israelites for two reasons:
''To give them a historical record of their transition from the era of the judges to the era of the kings, a record of the birth and establishment of the monarchy.
To teach them the importance of establishing the monarchy of under the authority of God, teac ...
