Lrt It Be Heard

Thought For For Today - April 28
Let It Be Heard
By: Robert A. Searles

I have learned, and am still learning, that when I speak God's praises with my lips, and let my thoughts become audible to myself and to God, that my prayer and meditation becomes more meaningful to me than if I just think with my mind my praise and prayer to God, and remember with my mind his power. If we will speak with our lips what we know and feel in our heart, then our words take wings, as it were, and accomplish the mission and purpose for which they were meant.

God told Moses: "speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregations and their beast drink." Numbers 20: 8.

 God didn't tell Moses to go up and just look at the rock and think in his mind that the rock had water and was capable of providing their needs, he told him to use his lips and speak to the rock where every one could hear.

 Jesus Christ is our rock, a fountain of life that will never run dry. We need to move our lips and speak audibly to him.

"And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear." Isaiah 65: 24
