8. If we would have the Lord hear our voice, we must be careful to respond
to his voice. The true heart should echo the will of God as the rocks
among the Alps repeat the notes of the peasant’s horn. The command was in the
plural, to all the saints, Seek ye; but the man of God turned it into
the singular by a personal application: Thy face, O Lord, will I seek. The voice of the Lord is very
effectual where all other voices fail. When thou saidst, then my heart,
my inmost nature, was moved to an obedient reply. Note the promptness of the
response; as soon as God said Seek, the heart said, I will seek.
