I have to admit that I am bad to overhear others' conversations. It is not that I am eavesdropping, I just have really good hearing. I promise you that I am not trying to hear their conversations, I just do.
Often, though, it seems as though no one hears us. It seems as though we are screaming at the top of our lungs, that we are hurting and yelling, and, yet, no one seems to hear us. There are few things more disappointing than needing to be heard and everything falling on deaf ears.
Today's word is Psalm 66:19 & 20, NIV, which reads, "but GOD has surely listened and has heard my prayer. Praise be to GOD, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me!"
GOD ALWAYS LISTENS! Pay attention. I didn't say that GOD always hears. I said that GOD ALWAYS LISTENS! There is a big difference between hearing and listening. Hearing implies that you recognize there is a noise; listening implies that you distinguish what the noise is. GOD knows what we are saying - HE LISTENS!
Folks will hear us, and, often, not listen. GOD ALWAYS LISTENS! Tell Him your problems, your burdens, your concerns, your fears, your obsessions - He is listening.
Be Blessed,
