Hebrews 13:20-21 (NIV)
20 Now may the God of peace, who through the blood
of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that
great Shepherd of the sheep,21 equip you with everything good for doing
his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through
Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
When I was a boy, radio was just coming of age. We would
gather around a crude homemade set and twist the three tuning dials in an
effort to establish contact with the transmitter. Often, all the sound that
came out of the amplifier was the squawk of static; but we knew that somewhere
out there was the unseen transmitter, and if contact was established and the
dials were in adjustment, we could hear a voice loud and clear. After a long
time of laborious tuning, the far distant voice would suddenly break through
and a smile of triumph would illuminate the faces of all in the room. At last
we were tuned in!
In the revelation that God established between Himself and
us, we can find a new life and a new dimension of living, but we must “tune
in.” There are higher levels of living to which we have never attained. There
is peace, satisfaction, and joy that we have never experienced. God is trying
to break through to us. The heavens are calling. God is speaking! Let man hear.
Thought for today:
Am I prepared for and attuned to hear the word of God?
