Daniel 10:19
And he said, “You who are treasured, do not be afraid. Peace be to you; take courage and be courageous!” Now as soon as he spoke to me, I felt strengthened and said, “May my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”
We cannot hear from God. We aren't strong enough to bear it. A single word from His mouth to our ears would undo us. But by His words He is able to strengthen us to hear. He is able to give us ears to hear. He can encourage faint hearts. He can speak boldness into the baffled. He can provide peace where His presence produced terror. The fear was a kind of gift and the relief is another kind. Grace teaches our hearts to huddle and grace our hearts exhorts to run. The words of God are grace and giddy up, they humble the proud and rouse the humbled; they cut to the quick, but quicken the cut.
