Listening… really listening
“And He said to His disciples…” Luke 12:22
Jesus was talking to His followers, those who believed in Him – He was not talking to those without faith in Him.
As a follower of Christ – do you listen to Him, really listen to what He is saying – – – to you?
Listening involves one’s full attention. It takes concentration. It requires no distractions. Listening is work!
Listening to God
Carefully read God’s word – He has much to say to those who believe in Him.
Prayerfully read God’s word – He teaches all who come to Him in belief.
What do you do with God’s word?
Do you believe God Himself is speaking to you?
And if you do believe God is talking to you, do you take it to heart and begin doing what He says to do?
After receiving Jesus as your Savior, that is the bottom rung of the ladder. There are many steps up that ladder.
You and I have much to learn at the Master’s feet.
Are you sitting in the Teacher’s classroom then going out into the world in which you live and doing what He told you?
Listening is required. So is the doing.
~ Take it to heart ~
Are you listening, really listening, with your full attention to God?
If so, you are learning, really learning.
If so, you are doing what He says for you to do.
