Trusting, Faith, Calling and Ascribing to Jehovah #3 voice of God

Hearing the Voice in the Holy Scriptures

We have the opportunity to hear the Voice of Jehovah God. We have His Words in the Holy Scriptures so we can read and hear His Voice which is on the waters; the God of glory thunders; Jehovah above many waters, in power, in majesty. He breaks the strong ones also making them to skip like a calf, like a young wild ox. The voice of Jehovah goes through flames of fire, shakes the wilderness; causes the does to calve, and uncovers the forests; and in His temple all of it is saying, glory! Therefore we, the humble and the mighty, should give to Jehovah glory and strength. We have to give to Jehovah the glory due to His name; worship Jehovah in the beauty of holiness. Jehovah sits as king forever on the highest throne and will give strength to His people; Jehovah will bless His people with peace. That is assured in the Writings of the ancestors of Gods people. (Psalms 29:1-11)

We should love Jehovah and His Words because He hears our voice and our prayers and according to His judgment He the Life giver, Creator of all things, give us life. (Psalms 116:1; Psalms 119:149)

14 Yah is my strength and song, And He has become my deliverance. 15 The voice of rejoicing and deliverance Is in the tents of the righteous; The right hand of יהוה {Jehovah} is doing mightily. 16 The right hand of יהוה {Jehovah} is exalted, The right hand of יהוה {Jehovah} acts mightily. (Psalms 118:14-16 The Scriptures 1998+)

Instructor’s Voice to come to the rescue

Jehovah is ready to come to the rescue of righthearted ones. The Grand Instructor will no longer hide Himself, so He gave His Words to the world and asked the eyes of the people to become eyes seeing their Grand Instructor. For it is He Only, Elohim the Creator, who has no equal as a teacher. Through history Jehovah revealed Himself through His prophets, whose words are recorded in the Bible. (Amos 3:6, 7) Today, when faithful worshipers read the Bible, it is as if God’s fatherly voice is telling them the way to go and urging them to readjust their course of conduct so as to walk in it. Each Christian should listen carefully as Jehovah speaks through the pages of the Bible. Let each one apply himself to Bible reading, for ‘it means his life.’

18 And therefore יהוה {Jehovah} shall wait, to show you favour. And therefore He shall be exalted, to have compassion on you. For יהוה {Jehovah} is an Elohim of right-ruling. Blessed are all those who wait for Him. 19 For the people shall dwell in Tsiyon at Yerushalayim, you shall weep no more. He shall show much favour to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears, He shall answer you. 20 Though יהוה {Jehovah} gave you bread of adversity and water of affliction, your Teacher ^{1} shall no longer be hidden. But your eyes shall see your Teacher^{1}, {Footnote: ¹Or teachers. See also Joel 2:23}. 21 and your ears hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the Way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right, or whenever you turn to the left. (Isaiah 30:18-21 The Scriptures 1998+)

6 If a ram’s horn is blown in a city, do the people not tremble? If there is calamity in a city, shall not יהוה {Jehovah} have done it? 7 For the Master יהוה {Jehovah} does no matter unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. 8 A lion has roared! Who is not afraid? The Master יהוה {Jehovah} has spoken! Who would not prophesy? (Amos 3:6-8 The Scriptures 1998+)

46 he said to them, “Set your heart on all the words with which I warn you today, so that you command your children to guard to do all the Words of this Torah. 47 “For it is not a worthless Word for you, because it is your life, and by this Word you prolong your days on the soil which you pass over the Yardĕn to possess.” (Deuteronomy 32:46-47 The Scriptures 1998+)

17 Thus said יהוה {Jehovah}, your Redeemer, the Set-apart One of Yisra’ĕl, “I am יהוה {Jehovah} your Elohim, teaching you what is best, leading you by the way you should go. 18 “If only you had listened to My commands! Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea. 19 “And your seed would have been like the sand, and the offspring of your inward parts like the grains of sand. His name would not have been cut off nor destroyed from before Me. 20 “Come out of Babel! Flee from the Chaldeans! Declare this with a voice of singing, proclaim it, send it out to the end of the earth! Say, ‘יהוה {Jehovah} has redeemed His servant Ya’aqob!’ ” (Isaiah 48:17-20 The Scriptures 1998+)
