Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the Lord. And word from the Lord was rare in those days, visions were infrequent.

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “Now Samuel was ministering before the Lord, as a boy.” 1 Samuel 2:18 What a beautiful heart Samuel had, in that he wanted to minister to the Lord so much.

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “Thus Moses finished the work. Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. For throughout all their journeys, the cloud of the Lord was on the tabernacle by day, and there was fire in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel” Exodus 40:33-34,38 We are the present day tabernacle of our Lord, and Jesus Christ, by His blood, has made us to be a kingdom of priests to God our F
