"Let us further illustrate by our lives these other words, 'Thine is the
power,' let us endeavor to live practically in the faith that all power
belongs to God. We are in a world of much confusion and difficulty, and
we feel that we ourselves are weak and feeble; but surely our God is a
God of power, powerful to preserve from evil, powerful to keep us from
sin, powerful enough to give us peace in our death and a happy
resurrection." (Sermon Bible Commentary) God speaks a
certain message for a
certain people at a particular time. That same message must be repeated
over and over again before it gets a hold of the hearts of the people.
The problem is - the heart is not prepared soil for the seed of the
Word.
