For some of us it sometimes pays to shut your trap and open up your ears. We're good at talking. We're always talking. Always thinking, always wondering etc etc and there's just that one small thing that we never took into consideration because we're too busy with life. Listening. It's hard to do. Don't believe me? Try to listen to your friends talking all at the same time. The more the better. Get them to talk to you at the same time. Hard to decipher isn't it with so many talking at once even when you're trying . But if one of them talked to you one at a time, then you'll have a much easier time listening.
So why is it when God is trying to tell us something sometimes we don't even bother trying to listen even ignoring Him to some extent? "Be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger." Maybe these days we ought to listen to God more. His voice is louder than anyone can scream so we shouldn't have trouble listening right? We gotta keep our ears open and not get too distracted by a jillion things that are going past us. I realised today, just a simple read from the bible is one of God ways of talking to us. His voice is right there. So why do we sometimes miss it?
Got me thinking there...
