God's Use of Man's Voice
R. Glover. Mark 1:3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare you the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. The highest praise of a prophet is that he should be simply a "voice" employed by God. God borrows voices still. While the weapons of our warfare are heavenly, the weapons of His warfare are earthly. For the human lips a Divine message must be sought; for the Divine message human lips are requisite. Consecrate thy lips to Him, and He will pour grace into them. (R. Glover.)
