Are you a good listener?
Daily Devotional for July 11

Matthew 7:24 "Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock"

Christian, have you been a good hearer on Sunday morning as the word of God was being preached, or are you one so filled with the cares of this world that the only thing you hear is the troubles that lurk in your mind? When you are at home is your conversation about the Lord, or you still complaining about the details of life?

You have never heard the words of this book then, have you?

1 Peter 5:7 "Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you."

If you did hear these beautiful words you have not believed them; for your actions show otherwise.

The greatest form of worship is concentrating on the word of God when it is being preached. This is one of the main reasons people fall away from going to Church, because they have no ability to internalize the word of God. They come to Church burdened down with the details of life, and go home the same way; because their mind was full of other things. The word of God was not their main thought.

Hearing the word of God is very important, because our Lord said to listen with ears that are open to hear; not with ears of cement. Repent if you are one that has cement ears; for it is sin not to pay attention when the word of God is being preached.
