Crying

Christ, who is the Wisdom of God; CRIES

Isaiah 58:1- Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.

John 7:37- In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

It's hear and understand; the only way one can understand what is being said to them is know the language in which they are being taught.

Proverbs 8:6- Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.

Proverbs 8:7- For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

I have had the opportunity to go to different places. When I was in Nicaragua I heard many people speaking but understood very little of what was said. The reason was I knew very little Spanish. When I was in Brazil I could not understand anything at all, the reason was I knew no. Could this be the reason many are not hearing God? They just don't understand the language!
Maybe the voices of this world are crying so loud that the small still voice of God is being drowned out. If this be true then we are not understanding instruction, we are not finding out knowledge, getting counsel, we are not being lead in the way of righteous. The baby cries in the next room but the cry is foreign so we pay little attention to its cry. But then another baby cries down the hall and our ears perk up as our body gets up. What's the difference? One cry is foreign because we don't know the baby the other cry is not foreign because that baby is our son or daughter. Our walk in this life is determined by what our ears are tuned into.

1 John 2:16- For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

If our life is consumed with the Lust of our flesh, the Lust of our eyes and the Pridefulness of our life then how does one expect to hear about walking in the paths of Righteousness?

The voice is crying, but it's foreign.
