Hearing vs. Listening

Good morning Brothers. Happy Tuesday! God loves you. I love you. Praise God for waking you up this morning. There is power in the name of Jesus. Things change when we call His name. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus.(‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭5‬). Let’s sing, Lord, in the morning Thou shalt hear My voice ascending high; To Thee will I direct my prayer, To Thee lift up mine eye. Up to the hills where Christ is gone To plead for all His saints, Presenting at His Father’s throne Our songs and our complaints. Today’s verse is from Mark 4:9. Then Jesus said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear. Today's culture places value on doing many things at once; we often try to listen while focusing on other tasks, which divides our focus. The sound of someone's voice might come into our ears, but if we're also scrolling social media, doing schoolwork, or making a meal, we might not fully understand their words. But in the biblical context, "hearing" does not simply include sound reception; it also involves active obedience and an effort to understand. Jesus isn't just asking us to audibly hear His words and carry on with our personal agenda; He's urging us to actively listen and obey, to live by His truth. Are you attentive to God's Word, allowing it to transform your life, or is your hearing divided, causing you to resist His call? Even when sharing your faith feels hard or met with resistance, don't give up. Every act of love is a seed planted in God's time. Trust that He is working, even when you don't see immediate results. God loves you. Have a blessed day.
