It is good to hear the word of the LORD. It is also good to read your Bible on your own, but that cannot replace hearing God's word. That is one of the many reasons that it is important to go to Church and hear the word preached. This scripture has so much emotion and emphasis. As though they were already saying God's word, but they weren't listening, so now they are trying to gain their attention.

Holy and Almighty God, please move powerfully in our day to bring revival. Open the hearts of the peoples to your truth and enable those who proclaim your Word to speak your truth with power. Please use me to help make a difference in the lives of those around me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
