I Will
Tune My Ear to Heaven
And thine ears shall
hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye shall
turn to the right hand, and when ye shall turn to the left. Isa. 30:21
Many narratives of the Inspired Word are
given to teach us that the human family is the object of the special care of
God and heavenly beings. Man is not left to become the sport of Satan's
temptations. All heaven is actively engaged in the work of communicating light
to the inhabitants of the world, that they may not be left in the darkness of
midnight without spiritual guidance. An Eye that never slumbers or sleeps is
guarding the camp of Israel. Ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands of
thousands of angels are ministering to the needs of the children of men. Voices
inspired by God are crying, This is the way, walk ye in it.
We can avoid seeing many of the evils
that are multiplying so fast in these last days. We can avoid hearing about
much of the wickedness and crime that exist.
To the active minds of children and
youth, the scenes pictured in imaginary revelations of the future are
realities. As revolutions are predicted, and all manner of proceedings
described that break down the barriers of law and self-restraint, many catch
the spirit of these representations. They are led to the commission of crimes
even worse, if possible, than these sensational writers depict. Through such
influences as these society is becoming demoralized. The seeds of lawlessness
are sown broadcast. None need marvel that a harvest of crime is the result.
Say firmly: ". . . I will close my
eyes to frivolous and sinful things. My ears are the Lord's and I will not
listen to the subtle reasoning of the enemy. My voice shall not in any way be
subject to a will that is not under the influence of the Spirit of God. My body
is the temple of the Holy Spirit, and every power of my being shall be
consecrated to worthy pursuits."
