“Two little eyes
to look to God,
Two little ears to
hear His Word.”
THE “ear gate” is one of the main entrances to man’s soul. And of course, Satan tries to keep hold of that gat if he can. It was by listening to Satan that Eve and Adam fell in the garden, and then Satan took possession.
Yet so it is that by hearing God’s word sinners are saved, and thus escape from his slavery. “Incline your ear” (Isa. 55:33Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. (Isaiah 55:3)). Bend it forward and listen. “Give ear to My words.” (Psa. 5:11<<To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David.>> Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation. (Psalm 5:1)). God has given you an open ear so you can hear His word.
