1 Samuel 3:1
King James Version
9 Jun 2026
“And the child Samuel ministered unto the Lord before Eli. And the word of the Lord was precious in those days; there was no open vision.”
הָיָה
I AM. Hayah. The self-existent one. When Moses asked God His name God said I AM THAT I AM. Not I was or I will be but I AM. Always present always existing always enough. Jesus used the same words: before Abraham was I AM.

Vision, prophecy. Chazon. Where there is no vision the people perish. God's vision for your life is the anchor that keeps you on course when everything is uncertain.
