The shout of the Lord

Today's theme in my mind was a song of Paul Wilbur from The Watchman.

When the shout of the Lord is in our camp 
It's the sound of victory
For the power of His voice will rout the enemy
There's no weapon that can defeat us here
We will triumph on every side
More than conquerors through the might of Adonai
Though the walls may stand before us
Hem us in on every side
They come crashing down 
When they hear the sound
Of the name above all others...

Amen and amen!

Proverbs 4:20-22

...in basically NLT, with some explanation from the Hebrew dictionary.

Pay attention (= prick up ears), my child, to what I say.
Listen carefully (= stretch ears).
Don't lose sight of my words.
Let them penetrate deep within your heart;
for they bring life and radiant health (= medicine, cure, deliverance) to anyone
who discovers (= attain, acquire) their meaning.


God really wants us to focus on what he says. He doesn't favor one person. ANYONE who discovers, studies and finds the true meaning of his words can receive radiant health from them. Anyone!!

日本語には耳の穴をほじくってよーく聞きけ。。なんていいますが、それがこの”Ｐａｙ　ａｔｔｅｎｔｉｏｎ”にあたる言葉にぴったり当てはまって、なんだかうれしくなりました。
