Noted preacher and theologian Helmut Thielicke (1908–1986) endured great opposition from the Nazi regime in Germany during the 1930s and 1940s. Yet he remained committed to proclaiming God’s presence and power in Jesus Christ during a difficult and perplexing time. Scholar Robert Smith said that as Thielicke addressed modern issues and problems in his sermons, “he sought to answer the question, ‘Is there any word from the Lord?’”		저명한 설교자이자 신학자인 헬무트 틸리케(1908- 1986)는 1930년, 40년대에 독일 나치정권의 극심한 반대를 견뎌내야 했습니다. 그러나 어렵고 혼돈스러운 중에도 그는 하나님이 계시다는 것과 예수 그리스도의 능력을 선포하는 일에 계속 헌신했습니다. 학자인 로버트 스미스는 틸리케가 시대적 이슈와 문제들을 다루는 설교를 통해 “‘여호와께서 말씀하고 계시는가?’ 라는 질문에 대해 답을 구하고 있었다.”라고 말했습니다.
Isn’t that what each of us is seeking today? What has God said that will strengthen and guide us through the difficulties and opportunities we face?		그것이 오늘날에도 우리 각자가 추구하는 것이 아닐까요? 우리가 어려움이나 기회에 마주쳤을 때 우리에게 힘주시고 우리를 인도하시기 위해 하나님이 하셨던 말씀은 무엇인가요?
First Samuel 3 describes a time when “the word of the Lord was rare” (v.1). When God spoke to young Samuel, the boy mistakenly thought it was the aging priest Eli calling him. Eli told the boy to respond to God’s voice by saying, “Speak, Lord, for Your servant hears” (v.9). Samuel listened, and he became known as a man who lived faithfully and fearlessly, “for the Lord revealed Himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the Lord” (v.21).		사무엘상 3장은 “여호와의 말씀이 희귀하던”(1절) 때를 묘사하고 있습니다. 하나님이 어린 사무엘에게 말씀하셨을 때, 사무엘은 노인이 된 제사장 엘리가 부르는 줄 잘못 알았습니다. 엘리는 사무엘에게 하나님의 음성에 응답하여, “여호와여 말씀하옵소서 주의 종이 듣겠나이다”(9절)라고 말하라고 일러주었습니다. “여호와께서 실로에서 여호와의 말씀으로 사무엘에게 자기를 나타내시니”(21절) 사무엘은 말씀을 듣고 순종해, 신실하고 두려움 없이 살았던 사람으로 알려지게 되었습니다.
Whenever we open the Bible, listen to a sermon, or pause to pray, it’s a wonderful practice to say, “Lord Jesus, speak to me. I’m ready to listen and eager to obey.” —David McCasland		성경을 펴거나 설교를 들을 때, 혹은 기도하기 위해 잠시 멈출 때마다, “주 예수여, 말씀하소서. 듣고 순종할 준비가 되었나이다.”라고 말하는 것은 아주 훌륭한 습관입니다.
God who formed worlds by the power of His word Speaks through the Scriptures His truth to be heard  And if we read with the will to obey  He by His Spirit will show us His way. —D. De Haan		말씀의 힘으로 세상을 지으신 하나님은  우리가 들어야 할 진리를 성경을 통해 말씀하시네  우리가 순종하려는 의지로 말씀을 읽으면  성령을 통해 우리에게 그분의 길을 보여주시네
God speaks through His Word to those who listen with their heart.		마음으로 듣는 자들에게 하나님은 성경을 통해 말씀하신다.

 

1 Samuel 3:1-10

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

1 Samuel 3

The Prophetic Call to Samuel

 ¹ Now ^(A)the boy Samuel was ministering to the LORD before Eli. And ^(B)word from the LORD was rare in those days, ^[a]visions were infrequent.

 ² It happened at that time as Eli was lying down in his place (now ^(C)his eyesight had begun to grow dim and he could not see well), ³and ^(D)the lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the temple of the LORD where the ark of God was, ⁴ that the LORD called Samuel; and he said, “^(E)Here I am.” ⁵ Then he ran to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” But he said, “I did not call, lie down again.” So he went and lay down. ⁶ The LORD called yet again, “Samuel!” So Samuel arose and went to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” But he ^[b]answered, “I did not call, my son, lie down again.” ^7 (F)Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, nor had the word of the LORD yet been revealed to him. ⁸ So the LORD called Samuel again for the third time. And he arose and went to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” Then Eli discerned that the LORD was calling the boy. ⁹ And Eli said to Samuel, “Go lie down, and it shall be if He calls you, that you shall say, ‘Speak, LORD, for Your servant is listening.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

 ¹⁰ Then the LORD came and stood and called as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel said, “Speak, for Your servant is listening.”
