Being attentive to God's Word, meditating on and abiding by it faithfully, with the fervent desire to please Him affirms that those who trust in what is unseen yet, truly acknowledge Him as the Good Shepherd, our LORD, and Creator (Ps. 23). God's presence has ever been with His people, signifying the acceptance of all faithful Christians as Heirs of His Kingdom; yet, by refusing to believe the Gospel and ignoring His voice, the stiff-necked, like goats are kept away from His Grace, favor, and Divine guidance by their pride and hard-heartedness, showing they are not formed by the Holy Father, nor will they be filled (John 10:26-27, Rom. 6:1-2).
Also, as God's living letters, chosen to proclaim His Good News to all, everyone who is of the LORD receives us and the testimony which we declare, realizing its Divine impact on their spiritual growth and physical development, while the deliberate refusal of God's Word is a mistake which only makes a man to be spotted as a vessel of the wicked one (1 John 4:6)
PRAYER: Thank You LORD, Gracious Father, for the free gift of Your Word has transformed me from a stubborn sinner; please protect your Church to stand apart from deafening crowds, even as I harken to tantalizing teachings in humility and lovingly abide by the Truth as a vessel of Your Divine Will, commissioned to communicate the Good News of Your marvelous works for the Salvation of more souls, in Jesus' mighty name,
Amen.
From John 8:47
