Acquiring An Ear That Can Hear the Voice of God

“… If, after  all this, you ask, ‘How can I acquire an ear that can hear the voice of God?’ I would answer, ‘Prepare yourself first to receive His demands and requests and directions and be ready in your heart to carry them out, no matter what the cost. Immediately you will have an ear that hears the voice of Almighty God!’ ‘Morning by morning He wakens my ear to hear as those who are taught. The Lord God has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious’ (Isaiah 50:4, 5).”
– Matthew the Poor

Oh the difficulty of these words..!

Give us strength, oh God.
