Samuel........The little boy was growing up in the place where the ark of the covenant was.The lights were not "off"..The boy must be in His bed,pondering..when many get the love of their parents...when many are "privileged" WHY in the world am I here??Suddenly came a voice calling Him "Samuel"..he jumped and went to Eli..He sadi he didnt call him.Second time He called Samuel..again the lad went to ELI...Third time it repeated..ELI understood what this meant..He asked Samuel to say"Speak Lord for your servant hears"...
Elijah!!Rise up and eat..He tried so much to reach that wilderness...;-)Many a time hearing the evil voice of "JEZEBEL"who threatens your todays and tomorrows we travel a long way to sleep with discouragement and complainings!!Literally worn off.HE only wanted to die..BUT GOD wudnt leave ..HE sent His angel who said "Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you.Twice He did that!!
And the word of the LORD came to him: "What are you doing here, Elijah...Elijah told His heart out without knowing the provision of the Lord...Again the voice came with more intensity..."What are you doing here, Elijah?"..Then God reminded Him of His provision and the great ministry ahead of HIM!!
When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me more than these?" "Yes, Lord," he said, "you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Feed my lambs." Again Jesus said, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me?" He answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Take care of my sheep."
The third time he said to him, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, "Do you love me?" He said, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you."
COnclusion:God is God who repeats and each time it strikes us with so much intensity...These moments do you hear the gentle voice of God..that calls you so that He can share somethings with you...so that He can give you a new ministry and a vision and a mission.A question that repeatedly asks youDO YOU LOVE ME??
amen!!
