## Resource

And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, **It is the LORD**: let him do what seemeth him good. (1 Samuel 3:18) ~~~~ This sermon was preached at South Chard Strict Baptist Chapel. ~~~~ *1/ The person recognised - "The LORD". 2/ The mark of grace in recognising, "It is the LORD" 3/ How some of the Lord's people have recognised, "It is the LORD".* **Sermon Summary:** The sermon covers the spiritual grace of recognising God's active presence in all circumstances, emphasizing that true believers identify divine intervention rather than attributing events to chance or human agency. Drawing primarily from 1 Samuel 3 and the Gospel accounts of Jesus appearing to His disciples, the text illustrates how God reveals Himself to his people through Scripture, providence, and personal encounters. The preacher argues that true faith involves submitting to God's will even in trials, as demonstrated by biblical figures like Eli, Aaron, and Jacob who acknowledged the Lord's sovereignty. By examining these scriptural examples alongside personal testimonies, the message encourages listeners to discern God's hand in their daily lives, and so be assured of having saving grace and find comfort in His ultimate control.
