Luke 8:18,”Pay attention to how you hear. To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening, even what they think they understand will be taken away from them.”
Listening is an art. We have to listen with intentionality. Being careful of all the stuff that we allow to come into our senses. Let’s not just assume that we hear with our ears only. Multi-media has changed the way we hear. We are taking in more than we bargained for. It goes straight to our minds and heart through our eyes and ears.
Be intentional about reading God’s Word out loud. This process engages, not just the eyes, but the ears and improves our ‘hearing’ skills.
Dear Father, I thank you for giving me more understanding to the process of hearing. For I know that it isn’t just about the ears, but about the whole body/spirit. I trust you to enlighten me in ways that I could never do on my own. For my body is the temple of the living God and I give it to you today to do as You will, not my will. But yours. Not my agenda, but yours. In Jesus Name, Amen.
