Thoughts for Today
According to dictionary.com, listen means "to give attention with the ear ... to pay attention; heed; obey."
True listening requires obedience. Today's scripture makes it clear that when we hear God's word, when we listen to him speak to us, we must act on what we hear!
Consider this ...
Sometimes God speaks to us to comfort and encourage us. Do we listen-or do we go right on worrying?
Sometimes we ask God's guidance in making a decision. Do we follow his guidance-even if we wanted to hear a different answer?
Sometimes God speaks to us about some behavior we need to change. Do we obey-or do we continue doing what we want to do?
Sometimes God prompts us to pray for someone or share a testimony. Are we quick to respond-or do we step back in fear?
If we want to listen for God's voice, let's be ready to act on what we hear.
