Day 2: Listen to Him!
While [Peter] was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is My Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased. Listen to Him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified (Matthew 17:5-6).
Lord, teach me to listen. The times are noisy and my ears are weary with the thousand raucous sounds which continuously assault them. Give me the spirit of the boy Samuel when he said to Thee, "Speak, for thy servant heareth."
Let me hear Thee speaking in my heart. Let me get used to the sound of Thy Voice, that its tones may be familiar when the sounds of earth die away and the only sound will be the music of Thy speaking Voice. Amen.
~ A. W. Tozer ~ The Pursuit of God
Be silent, be silent,
A whisper is heard,
Be silent, and listen,
Oh, treasure each word!
Refrain:
Tread softly, tread softly,
The Master is here,
Tread softly, tread softly,
He bids us draw near.
Be silent, be silent,
For holy this place,
This altar that echoes
The message of grace.
Be silent, be silent,
Breathe humbly our prayer,
A foretaste of Eden
This moment we share.
Be silent, be silent,
His mercy record,
Be silent, be silent
And wait on the Lord
