My devo yesterday and today was over listening. Great topic, I do that well I thought in my head before I actually began reading. Barely got passed the first paragraph before I thought, "wow, I stink at listening" there went all my pride. Then later, if it wasn't enough just to think about how much of a horrible listener I am God was there proved to me, that I wasn't a good listener at all. I made someone repeat themselves 3 times (now they all say the 3rd time is a charm, but I mean seriously come on) before I actually took the time to STOP thinking about whatever I was thinking about and actually listen to what they were saying. Now I'd really like to put the blame on the other person and say something like "well if they would have spoke up I could have heard them" or " if they wouldn't have stammered", But in all reality it was my fault I was thinking of 100 other things other than what that person was saying.
Todays lesson was over listening to God, which lets be honest if I am having trouble listening to audible voices I am probably not listening to God like I should either. I think this all goes back to what I talked about in my last post, I am too busy, I have made myself too busy and unable to do everything well. So I am stopping so I can hear you, and most importantly hear God.
"Be still & know I am God"
