Who can listen..

Jeremiah 6:10 KJV
To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.

Listening is one of the most important elements of communication because it is the only way that enables one to receive the massage that is being conveyed to them. Imagine if we all could not hear, there would be a lot more of accidents, miscommunication and chaos caused by lack of hearing. The same thing is happening today. If we don’t listen to God’s directions we end up being lost. Lord Jesus said He is the way; truth and life. So in order for us to reach God’s destination we need to be able to be in tuned to God’s word

Listening is not hearing what you want to hear but it is hearing the massage of the communicator. If Lord Jesus Christ can be obeyed by the wind and the sea, so why is it difficult for man to hear Him? It is because we want to see before we can hear. Faith believes without seeing because “we do not walk by sight but by faith”. It’s funny how we want God to hear us but we don’t want to hear Him. God speaks in order for Him to guide us and this is not for His own benefit but ours. Let God be your guide, you can never go wrong. (Revelations 2:29)
