A Better Way to Heal: Where Faith Meets Therapy

Hearing the Divine Call: From Moses to Samuel - A Journey of Faith

A conversation about all things related to A Better Way, a book by Eleanor L. Brown
This Episode:
But in spite of all this royal heritage, the Lord had so stripped Moses that when he heard God's voice out of the burning bush, he could only exclaim, “I am not worthy of the work of the Lord.” In response to Moses' statement of unworthiness, God said, “Certainly, I Am will be with thee” (Exodus 3:12)
One night, as he was falling asleep, he heard a voice calling out to him. He thought it was the priest Eli, so Samuel called back, “Here am I” (1 Samuel 3:4). Eli was asleep, so he did not respond. Samuel then ran to Eli, woke him, and said, “Here am I; for thou calledst me” (1 Samuel 3:5).
In his dream, Daniel saw four great beasts (verse 3). The first was like a lion; the second, like a bear; and the third, like a leopard. The fourth was dreadful and terrible and incredibly strong, with huge iron teeth. This beast devoured and trampled everything before it and had 10 horns on its head (verses 4-7).
The apostles gathered around Jesus, and told him all that they had done and taught. He said to them, "Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while." For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. And they went away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves. Mark 6:30:34
The staff is first mentioned in the Book of Exodus (Ex 4:2), when God appears to Moses in the burning bush. God asks what Moses has in his hand, and Moses answers, "A staff" ("a rod" in the KJV version). The staff is miraculously transformed into a snake and then back into a staff.
David tells us that he thought upon God as he lay on his bed, and meditated on Him in the watches of the night (Psalm 63:5).
And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day Christ Jesus returns. Philippians 1:6
When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son . But the angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven, "Abraham! Genesis 22
