IN THESE LAST DAYS GOD HAS SPOKEN BY HIS SON. Our Lord Jesus tells us all His mind and the Father commands us to hear Him. He speaks to us on a variety of subjects; He instructs, exhorts, warns, directs, and comforts. He always speaks in love. Every word is intended to do us good. Let us then take up His word and say, "I will hear what God the Lord will speak." How much better this than to listen to Satan, unbelief, carnal reason, or men. Let us believe what He says, for He speaks truth; expect what He promises, for He is faithful; practise what He commands, for His ways are peace; and abstain from what He prohibits, for it is sure to be injurious. Hear Him, and plead His word in prayer. Hear Him, and believe what He says. Hear Him, and compare all doctrines with His word. Hear Jesus everyday, give Him your best attention at the best time of your day. You can hear nothing better than what He says. No other one has a greater claim upon your attention. Hearing Jesus with attention, prayer, and faith, will save you from many a heartache.
For Meditation:
Jesus my Saviour, heavenly Lord,
Thy blest commandments are most dear;
Out of Thy lips the changeless Word,
They are as music to my ear!
O may I daily love to hear
Thy tender voice of love and cheer.
