OH 2:6{How are you to know what He says to you? Ah, it is so easy to know if we are really willing to know, and willing to obey when we do know! He has spoken so plainly to us in His Word! In that He tells us exactly what to do. It is most wonderful how He has said everything there for us, told us everything we ought to do. When you read a chapter, listen and watch to see what He saith unto you in it. There is another way in which He tells us what to do. He speaks to you through your conscience. Now "whatsoever He saith unto you, do it!" Whether easy or hard, do it because He tells you; do it for love of Him, and it will be much better and happier to obey the Lord than to please yourself. "Whatsoever He saith unto you, do it!" "Do it!" Do the exact thing He would have you do, not something a little bit different, or something which you think will be nearly the same, but do "it." And do it at once. It is so true, that the very first moment is the easiest for obedience. Every minute that you put off doing the right thing makes it harder. Do not let your Lord have to "speak twice" to you. "Whatsoever He saith unto you, do it" cheerfully, exactly, instantly.
Master, speak! and make me ready, when Thy voice is truly heard,
With obedience glad and steady, still to follow every word.
I am listening, Lord, for Thee; Master, speak, oh, speak to me!
