Wind Blows, Wave Splash.
Do you have ears to hear?
Ezekiel 3:10
He said to me: Mortal, all my words that I shall speak to you, receive in your heart and hear with your ears.
Hebrews 2:1
Therefore we must pay greater attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it.
Words of Grace For Today
Our ears hear so much. The internet offers even more to hear than even 40 years ago we could imagine we could ever hear in one lifetime!
The question of our lives, over-filled with sounds and information is: What do we choose to listen to?
Music can inspire our hearts and minds to greater good … or evil.
Words can move us from complacency to action for good … or evil.
We must choose which is which, and which we wish to participate in with our ears, our minds, and our hearts.
Jesus gives us a commandment, to love the Lord our God with all our heart, mind and strength; and to love one another, especially our enemies.
Can we choose to listen to Jesus’ Word each day anew, with ears attentive, minds focused, and our hearts receptive? We can, by the Grace of God through the Holy Spirit empowering us; though on our own we certainly cannot, and when we think that we can on our own then we surely error in choosing to listen to and work for Evil.
The Word of Jesus provides us living water, daily bread, and all we need to move into the future, fully aware that we move from past to present as God’s children, blessed to be blessings to others.
A wonder reveals itself in us each day.
