Dear Young Christian:
“He wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth
mine ear to hear as the learned” (Isaiah 50:4).
This verse, no doubt, prophetically refers to the Lord Jesus, the perfect, obedient Man as He walked through this world with His ear ever tuned to the voice of His God and to His Father’s will. Another prophetic scripture says, “Mine ears hast Thou opened” (Psalm 40:6). The Lord Himself said, “I do always those things that please Him” (John 8:29).
In all this there is something good and practical for us to consider as another week of hustle and bustle and the necessary activities of daily life begin to press upon us again. As we start out today, let’s ask ourselves, Do we really have our ears tuned to the voice of God our Father? Do we, every morning, seek to tune in to what He is saying to us? Let’s start this week with renewed exercise and desire to listen and obey. Let’s be like the Apostle Paul, who said, “Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?” (Acts 9:6).
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
