God’s Faithful Voice

And take heed to yourselves . . . and cares of this life. Luke 21:34

In a day when judgments are soon to come upon the earth, often doctors warn that we eat too much and worry too much. More of us suffer from mental illness than suffer from major physical illnesses. In our self-centered lives, even those who are professing believers are prone to think they will hear the trumpets of woe in time to do something about all this. But at that time, it will be too late! The voice of God is a quiet voice. The voice of God’s love and grace is constant-never strident, never compulsive. God has sent His messengers to every generation. He has spoken urgently and faithfully through His prophets, through the concerns of preachers and evangelists, and even through the sweet voices of gospel singers. Further, God has spoken through witnessing men and women—plain, sincere, loving men and women transformed by a spiritual birth from above. This is the voice of God we hear in this day of grace—the voice of the Savior calling wandering sinners home.

How does it fare with your family?

“Treasury of David”

“I will be careful to lead a blameless life . . . I will walk in my house with a blameless heart.” Psalm 101:2

Piety must begin at home. Our first duties are those within our own abode. We must have a blameless heart at home, or we cannot keep a blameless way abroad. Notice that these words are a part of a song. There is no music like the harmony of a gracious life, no psalm so sweet as the daily practice of holiness.

Reader, how does it fare with your family? Do you sing in the choir, and sin in the chamber? Are you a saint abroad, and a devil at home? For shame!

What we are at home, that we are indeed!

He cannot be a true saint whose habitation is a scene of strife, and whose household dreads his appearance at the fireside.
