The word manifest means to be made known or revealed. God longs to make himself known to us, but it does not happen by accident. Through obedience and surrender, Samuel tapped into the manifestation of God through the spoken word of God. Wow! Take a look! 

1 Sam 3:20-21 And all Israel from Dan to Beersheba recognized that Samuel was attested as a prophet of the Lord. The Lord continued to appear at Shiloh, and there he revealed himself to Samuel through his word. 

God spoke words to Samuel, and through those words, Samuel became more and more intimate with God. Wow! I believe that's the longing of each one of us! I am desperate to know him! I need him and am more dependent upon his words to me than ever before! This I know, it is the word of God that reveals God. The word of God is the seed (1 Peter 1:23), and, therefore, the word of God is the DNA and genetic codes of God. Think about that! Inside the word of God is the full manifestation of all God is. As I said recently, the word of God is not God in all His fullness, for that would take up all of space, time, and eternity, yet the word of God is the fullness of God. 

What an awesome privilege you and I have to be able to pour the life-giving reality of God into us through his word every day. Don't let today slip! God has a bright future for you! Today is your day to soak up the DNA and genetic codes of God through being filled with his word! Oh, yes! May you not only be filled with it; may you humbly and intently accept it and live it! Yes! May God be manifest in you and through you! With wings of faith, may you soar on the wind of God's presence revealed in his word! My dear friend, I am praying today that, for you, God would indeed be…
