Hearken and Hunger

"Hear, O My people, and I will testify unto thee... if thou wilt hearken unto Me.... Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. But My people would not hearken to My voice, and Israel would none of Me" (Psalm 81:8-11).

Hearken to God, and you'll hear the Lord speak.
Hunger for God, and you'll long for His will.
Open your heart; He rewards those who seek.
Open your mouth; He has promised to fill.

How foolish the heart that never has hearkened!
How empty the spirit with no appetite!
How blind are the eyes that always are darkened,
Loving the darkness, and hating the light!
