Notice the sevenfold injunction to the churches. "He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith" (Rev. 2; 7, 11, 17, 20; 3, 6, 13, 22.) God wants us "swift to hear, slow to speak" (Jas,. 1; 10.) He wants us to think more of what he would say to us than of what we have to say to him. The angels "do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word" (Psa. 103; 20.)
