DO YOU HEAR ME NOW?

DO YOU HEAR ME NOW?

God's Word speaks to our hearts! It is His way of communicating us if we
will LISTEN to His voice. I remember when Zach was fairly young and he
wanted me to tell me something and I was half-listening. He was smart
enough to know that I was only half-listening to him. He came over to me
placing his little hands on my cheeks and said, "Dad, are you listening
to me!"

Sometimes we approach the Lord that way. He wants to get our attention
as we read His Word -- but He doesn't have our undivided attention or we
just really don't want to hear what He has to say. We aren't tuned in to
what He wants to communicate with us. Devotional writer says: "To hear
the word of God is not enough though certainly necessary. I must mix
what I hear with faith, I must believe it to be the truth, and finally I
must obey what it tells me to do.

The universe is full of radio signals. But only when I turn on my radio
and pick up the frequency do I receive a message. God's Word is full of
continually emitted signals intended for me personally, but only as I am
tuned in does the message ever penetrate my being. God is saying
something to me right now from His Word about that personal need or
problem, but I keep cloying the message by getting hung up on Greek
words, theological meanings, archaeological evidence, and historical
data. Sometimes I feel that God wants to shake me, as Moody used to
shake his audiences by saying; 'Listen! I've got a message for you and I
want you to hear it!'

Lord, You are the God of the NOW, and Your Word is Your message of the
NOW. I will not tune You out, Lord; I will tune myself and the world
out, and I will listen to Your personal message to me right now." --
from Daily With the King
