Did You Hear That?

Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.  Jeremiah 33:3 NKJV

Have you ever experienced being in a conversation with someone but felt as though the person wasn't listening? Often times people aren't listening because they are distracted and something else has their attention.

In today's text God is encouraging us to call out to Him in prayer: prayer of repentance, prayer of necessity, prayer for help, prayer of thanksgiving; just to pray as to have conversation with Him. But since we know conversation is a two-way street, it's vital that as we expect God to hear us, that we listen to Him as well. Here's where we fall short...we all want to hear from God, but are we truly listening. Do we expect to hear from Him? Do we want to hear what He has to say? The Scripture confirms that when we talk to Him, He will answer.

Don't allow your focus to be on your circumstances and distract you from quality time with the Father, but rather let it be on listening to what He has to say. The bonus to hearing God is that He will show us great and mighty things that we don't know. I'm sure we all can do better in this area!

Let's develop a better listening ear so we can better discern His voice when He calls back to us!

Ya heard???
