The same word is frequently in Scripture used for obeying and hearing, (Psal. 81.8, 11, 13. Psal. 95.7.) To what purpose is our hearing the will of God without obedience to it? When young Samuel said at the Lord's call, Speak, for thy servant heareth, (1 Sam. 3.10.) his meaning was, Lord, I am ready to do what thou speakest.
