Selective Hearing

Belk Charity Sale

up 70% off storewide!

(Details + Luncheon Info below!)

Isaiah 66:2

"This is the one I esteem," declares the Lord, 

"He who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my Word."

I often joke with my husband by telling him he has selective hearing.  He hears the things he wants and ignores what he doesn't want to hear!

But if I'm honest, I wonder if God thinks the same of me.  Although I genuinely want to hear God's direction,  when I sense Him saying something I really don't want to hear such as: 

• "Forgive...  I'll vindicate," when in reality, I'd rather vindicate.  
• Or "Fast and pray," when I don't want to deny myself chocolate or dessert.  
• Or "Go and engage" when I'd rather stay in my comfort zone...

Its as if I turn into a quintessential two year old with a my fingers in my ears singing, "I don't hear you!"  Whatever it may be, I tend to turn the page and pretend I didn't hear that.  'Surely that isn't for me,'  I'll tell myself.   

How do YOU respond when God impresses something on your heart, you'd rather not hear?  Do you tremble at His Word?  Are you humble toward what He has to say?  Do you tend to have selective hearing as well?

If you and I want to the benefits of a closer walk with Him such as:   

• Hearing Him speak into ALL our circumstances giving direction and guidance
• Filling our marriages and/or parenting or business' with His resurrection life when we're on empty
• Living with joy and peace, despite the battle we may be facing...

WE have to resist the urge of being a selective listener.   THIS He esteems!
