The
Lord...wakeneth morning by
morning , He wakeneth Mine
ear to hear as the learned
Isaiah
50:4
Total attention is required
of those who would know
and serve. There is no other
way. No amount of meticulous
work or busy activity for
good causes can supplant
the need for faithful listening
and faithful reaction to
that which is heard.
This is a matter of tremendous
import, for where patient,
disciplined listening is
practised three things are
achieved; first readiness
is bred into the one who
so orientates and disposes
himself regularly, secondly
he is informed regarding
the path to be taken in
any matter, and wisdom in
action is afforded him,
and thirdly a quietness
and confidence of spirit
is bred in him which issues
from his quiet commitment
in walking and sleeping.
The most humbly endowed
may follow this way, and
the men and women of great
intellect, those with many
demanding tasks before them
and those with few. And
for those who persevere
in this way of life and
service there is great reward
in maturity and service.
Those who persevere in
this way will find that
they are led, in time, to
a corporate dedication.
It will be shown how this
will be and for what purpose.
The vital need is for obedience
and faithfulness in that
which is put before each
and every one, with a confident
committed trust in the loving
purpose of their Heavenly
Father.
