II. Selections
Psalm 40:6a
Sacrifice and offering you do not desire,
but you have given me an open ear. [ Heb. ears you have dug for me]
Hosea 4:16
Like a stubborn heifer,
Israel is stubborn;
can the LORD now feed them
like a lamb in a broad pasture?
Acts 22:10
" ...I asked, 'What am I to do, Lord?' The Lord said to me, 'Get up and go to Damascus; there you will be told everything that has been assigned to you to do.' ... " [ Paul addressing the crowd outside the temple]
Luke 6:12
Now during those days [ Jesus] went out to the mountain to pray; and he spent the night in prayer to God.
III. Meditation: Ears you have dug for us.
Ears you have dug for us.
Like a stubborn heifer, we are stubborn;
but ears you have dug for us.
What are we to do, Lord?
How can you feed us,
feed us like a lamb in a broad pasture,
if stubbornly we refuse to use
the ears you have dug for us?
Jesus went to the mountain
and prayed all night.
Paul went to Damascus to be told.
What are we to do, Lord?
