Now the Lord had told Samuel in his ear. 1 Samuel 9:15
What ye hear in the ear, preach ye. Matthew 10:27
SA 10:27{AT 10:27{It is a specially sweet part of the Lord's dealings with His messengers that He always gives us the message for ourselves first. It is what He has first told us in the darkness that is, in the secrecy of our own rooms, or at least of our own hearts that He bids us speak in light. And so the more we sit at His feet and watch to see what He has to say to ourselves, the more we shall have to tell to others. He does not send us out with sealed dispatches, which we know nothing about, and with which we have no concern.
He hath spoken in the darkness, in the silence of thy grief,
Sympathy so deep and tender, mighty for thy heart relief;
Speaking in thy night of sorrow words of comfort and of calm,
Gently on thy wounded spirit pouring true and healing balm.
What He tells thee in the darkness, weary watcher for the day,
Grateful lip and life should utter when the shadows flee away.
