The Voices Inside Your Head. Part [1] 09/28/2026 (Morning thought)

1st Samuel 3:3 And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep; 4 That the Lord called Samuel: and he answered, here am I.

1st Samuel 3:5 And he ran unto Eli, and said, here am I; for thou called me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down. 6 And the Lord called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, here am I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again. 7 Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, neither was the word of the Lord yet revealed unto him.

This particular story in the Bible must be observed and studied very seriously, because it has deeper implications for persons living in the 21st century, who have to sift through a number of voices inside our heads. Out of the blue, and without any prior warning, a voice is heard distinctly, calling Samuel. His first thought was that it must be his mentor, Eli, and so, he goes to him not once not twice, but three times.

Samuel probably did not know at that time that invisible beings could make such a direct form of intrusion into the human experience, where he can hear a voice clearly calling him. 8 And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, here am I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the Lord had called the child. In his young mind, as it is in the minds of so many people, that isn’t possible.

1st Samuel 3:8 And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, here am I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the Lord had called the child.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

If You Are on Meds. Part [13] 09/28/2026 (Evening thought)

.Psalms 91:3 Surely, he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

At the brook Cherith, there was no Medicaid or Medicare available, no pharmacy with meds if Elijah needed, and his food and drink, and everything that pertains to life were all supplied by God alone. We should now be availing ourselves of those often opportunities God gives us to walk by faith, learning the all-important lesson of trusting in Jesus alone. Yes, it is true, that while time lasts, we might access those conventional ways and means we’ve become so accustomed to over the years.

Psalms 103:1 Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits. 3 Who forgives all thine iniquities; who heals all thy diseases; 4 Who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 Who satisfies thy mouth with good things; so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

However, the Christian should also bear in mind that great changes are on the way, and that which we’ve known and done for years, will be upended. Faith in God alone takes time and practice, and thus, if you are currently on meds, on an ongoing basis, please consider the last resort, when all else fails, for you never know, God may leave a blessing at your front door. We therefore end with a passage of Scripture that will help us to remember that there is an option of last resort in God, and we will encourage all those who have health and medical issues to turn to Him, when all else fails.

Psalms 91:4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
