Are You Listening?
Read Ecclesiastes 3-5
Eccl 5:2 Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few.
ARE YOU listening? Most of us aren’t because we’re too busy talking, or we’re too eager to start talking when the other person stops. (“When will he be quiet so I can say what’s important?”)
Do you have that same kind of attitude when you are “listening” to God’s Word? Don’t you just want to get through the reading, so you can get to prayer and start telling God what you need? (“Oh, God, why do your words go on and on? I have so much to say to you. I need you to know what I want!”)
The thing is, God is listening. The question is: Are you?
Pause and Consider: that prayer is about listening, too.
