In Revelation 3:22, we read these words -- "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches." When we think about this verse, we realize that it actually makes an eternal difference whether a person hears---yet doesn't hear --- or really, truly hears what he hears, especially if it is God speaking! In Christ's seven letters to the seven churches (Revelation 2 and 3), which represents all churches, each letter concludes with His words from the above text! How very important it is to "Really" hear when God speaks!
If we are one of God's sheep, we will hear His voice and follow Him as He leads! In John 10:27, we read -- "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me." In John 10:3, we see -- "He calleth His own sheep by name, and leadeth them out." How blessed it is to be one of God's sheep, pasture where He feeds, and follow where He leads! And if we "really hear" when God speaks through His Word, we will do what He says!
Matthew 7:24 says -- Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of Mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock!
I am thankful that still today, in these wicked and perilous times, God is calling, for we read in the book of Hebrews -- "To day if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts."
May we be like the child, Samuel, who opened his heart, and when he heard God's voice, he answered -- "Speak, Lord; for thy servant heareth."
