“Master, speak! and make me ready, when thy voice is truly heard, with obedience glad and steady, still to follow ev’ry word. I am listening, Lord, for thee, Master, speak, oh speak to me!”
Lord, this morning, I pray that all of us who hear your voice will be obedient to your word. Make us willing, make us ready Lord, to follow Your voice where it leads us. I am listening this morning Lord, Master speak, oh speak to me. Amen!
“Master, speak! tho’ least and lowest, let me not unheard depart; Master, speak! for oh, thou knowest all the yearning of my heart, knowest all its truest need; speak! and make me blest indeed.”
Too many of us hear the word, we know for sure that the direction is from God, but we have hardness of heart, we depart from the word that was given to sustain us. My brothers and sisters in Christ, God knows all the yearnings of our hearts, and when we call upon his name he will speak and make us blessed indeed. Thank you, Lord!
“Speak to me by name, O Master, let me know it is to me; speak, that I may follow faster, with a step more firm and free; where the Shepherd leads the flock, in the shadow of the Rock!”
You know, sometimes we get a word from God, but we do not know if that word is for us, or for someone else. Therefore, whenever we come into God’s presence and we receive a word, we must ask God if he is speaking directly to us, so that we could follow where He leads us. Amen!
“Master, speak! thy servant heareth, waiting for thy gracious word, longing for thy voice that cheereth, Master, let it now be heard. I am list’ning, Lord, for thee; what hast thou to say to me?”
How many of us sit quietly in God’s presence and ask for His advice? Every day when I awake, I ask God for direction, for guidance and protection, and for His footsteps to be my pathway. Humble us, Lord, so that we could hear Thy gracious word, and Thy voice that will cheer us, no matter what we are going through. Help us, Lord, to not only learn to sit quietly in your presence, but for the ability to listen. All this we ask in your precious name. Amen!
Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life. John 5:24
Whoever listens to you listens to Me; whoever rejects you rejects Me, and whoever rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me. Luke 10:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. John 3:36
And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned.” Mark 16:15,16
And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world so that all nations will hear it, and then the end will come. Matthew 24:14
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being proclaimed all over the world. Romans 1:8
Therefore, we never stop thanking God that when you received his message from us, you didn’t think of our words as mere human ideas. You accepted what we said as the very word of God—which, of course, it is. And this word continues to work in you who believe. 1 Thessalonians 2:13
Therefore, since the promise of entering God’s rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it. Hebrews 4:1
“For this good news—that God has prepared this rest—has been announced to us just as it was to them. But it did them no good because they didn’t share the faith of those who listened to God.”
Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins. Ecclesiastes 7:20
For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. Romans 3:22,23
