' Voice for God ' Ur Lesson for June 89, 1958 WHAT does the voice of God sound like? That M an lm- ; portant question, but perhaps a rare one. For the Bible, and all religious experience, teach us that God more often than not speaks Indirectly 'rather than directly. The practical problem that all

serious • minded people have to settle Is: Ou.t of all the many voices that claim to be speaking for God, how can I tell whicjtxyeally are voices for God? To name only a few. there are the Pope, and

Mary Baker Eddy, and Joseph Smith, and Billy Graham, and Oral Roberts, and the Jehovah’s Witnesses, and the local preacher, and maybe your mother-in-law, all laying claim, one way or another to be telling you exactly what God wants you to do. There were, and there still are, true prophets and false. How do we know which is which? How can we tell the genuine voices for God? f A Strange Story ' Back in t b e Old Testament there is a strange incident about an old man and a young boy, Eli and SamueL The old man was a high priest, the boy was only a helper around the shrine. Yet one morning the boy came to the man and gave him a terrible message, a message which, he said, God had told him to take to the old man Eli. It was one of the most horrifying predictions that could come to a man. Yet after Eli had heard what the boy SamuePhad to say, the old priest’s only comment was: '•lt is the Lord: let him do what seems good to him." Now. perhaps we can get some light on our problem, if we inquire, How did Eli know that Samuel’s voice was genuinely a voice for God? God Is No Echo First of all this did not sound like Samuel. It was not the kind of thing Samuel would have liked to say. Eli was his oldest and best friend, he was (as we would say) his boss. A word from Eli and young Samuel would have had to go home to his mother. Saying what Samuel did (the whole story is in the Bible material for this week), was likely to lose him an old friend and to risk his position and future. Further, it was most certainly not what Eli wanted to hear. It was not by any means a comforting, encouraging message. ■ There are people who claim that ••God" is only a name for the projection of our wishes; a great loud echo in the sky, echoing our dearest desires. Not at all The true God is no echo. Even a lazy incompetent man like Eli (for priest though he was, he was a mighty poor one) knew better than that In the Middle nt Conscience In the second place, Ell knew that Samuel’s voice was a voice for God, because it hurt him in a sensitive spot, namely right in the middle of his conscience. Now persons without a conscience, or a conscience seared by sin, or twisted and half-demented, have, not this way of knowing. But Eli had still, we may believe, some genuine spark of conscience in him, though he had poured the cold water of indifference on it these many years. This voice thai, came to him in Samuel’s boyish treble was still a true voice for God, because it told him what, deep down, he knew was the truth. He had been doing wrong. He who was expected to be spiritual leader of his people had been (literally) asleep on his job. He knew he deserved no good from God. And when Samuel told him so, Eli knew that. Samuel was a voice for God. VclM for God and Volco of God A third point is this: The voice for God, any true voice for him, does not contradict the voice of God. Now Eli did not have our Bible; but he did have some of the early part of it. He had some knowledge of the Law of God as it had come to his forefathers in the Ten Commandments. What Samuel told him was exactly in line with what Ell must have understood to bo the genuine voice of God. We today have a much fuller and clearer revelation than Eli bad, in our Holy Bible. As a New Testament writer puts it, God*' in these days has spoken to us by his Son. Any voice, claiming to be for God, that contradicts what we know of God in Jesus Christ, we can ignore; for we can be sure it is the voice of a faker., I

Mafce Room For Christ \ Rev. J. R. Meadows. The life plan which leaves no place for Christ is hopelessly defective. No matter what other things or persons are allowed to enter our plans in life, if we omit the Master we make a fatal error. Other 1 friends are valuable; other l things are important; but there is no other friend who can be to us what the Man of Nazareth can, and there is no other possession which can be so profitable as that of an approving’Conscience. If we seek love, then He of all others should be a welcome guest, for He alone is love unfettered and unchangeable. If we seek peace, then He should be given a place of honor; for He alone can give peace to the heart of men when the storms are raging. If we seek again, then He certainly should be considered, for if He is absent the bright gold 1 Miller’s Grocery Groceries, Fresh Fruit, Vegetables, Meat, Ice Cream 937 N. 2nd St. Ph. 3-3307 The second best is never as good Is the best.
