First of all, God beseeches you to give attention to what He has to say. If you have heard any good news, you want to tell it to your friends. It is just so with God, for He has the best of news to tell you. You have seen a man who is a little deaf, put his hand up to his ear. God wants you to thus incline your ear and hear, for there is life in His words. Christ said, “The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life.” Man lost life by listening to the voice of Satan, but God does not cease to speak yet.. These are His words, harken! “Come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live.”
“TAKE HEED WHAT YE HEAR.”
Such are the words of the Lord Jesus which we read in Mark 4:2424And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given. (Mark 4:24). Dear reader, have you ever given heed to these words so wisely spoken? Thera are many evil words spoken by those who know not the Lord, but do not listen to them. It is a sad thing to see children talk like sinful men. Satan also is trying his best to get you to hear him. He puts evil thoughts into your mind, and tells you that you are too young to think about your soul, just wait until you arc older. He knows full well that the chances are, you may never live to grow up, and if you do live you will likely never receive Christ. So “Take heed what ye hear.” God says, “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth.” (Eccl. 12. 1.) F. E. H.
