Whispers of His Power – JUNE 24

Ps. 19.10:  More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold.

When we go to services or meetings, let us listen with keen expectation to what our God, who knows exactly what our need is, has prepared for us.  When the pure gold of the word of God is given, it lays a great responsibility on all who Listen, lest they lose that precious thing.  We cannot afford to lose one word.

If someone opened a bag of gold coins and poured them out, saying, ‘Take what you can’ would there be any slackness about picking up those coins?  But these words of God’s are more to be desired than gold, yes, than much fine gold.

oooOOOooo
