GETTING THE MESSAGE

 

God chooses strange and surprising ways to give us a personal word.

 

            Sometimes we "get it."

            Sometimes we don't.

 

When we don't "get it," it's not because God didn't try…..

 

I was ready to be sought by those who did not ask for me; I was ready to be found by those who did not seek me. I said, "Here am I, here am I," to a nation that did not call on my name.  I spread out my hands all the day to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, following their own devices.

                                                Isaiah 65:1-2

 

When we "get it", it's because our hearts are tender toward him.

 

The Lord God has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with a word him that is weary. Morning by morning he wakens, he wakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.  The Lord God has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, I turned not backward.                                                                 Isaiah 50:4-5

 

A certainty:

 

            God will open your ear, if your heart is tender.

 

                        You will hear him speaking in your circumstances.

                        You will hear his voice in the cry of a child.

You will see light on one path, while others remain in darkness.

 

The life of faith is a life sustained by a living word from God. 

 

"Morning by morning he wakens, he wakens my ear to hear as those who are taught."

 

All we have to do is listen with a tender heart, and obey without fear.

 

"I am the light of the world;

he who follows me will not walk in darkness,

but will have the light of life."

John 8:13
