Pay attention to how you listen

 

Morning: Psalms 137, 144; Micah 5:1-14, 10-15; Acts 25:13-27

Evening: Psalm 104; Luke 8:16-25

“Pay attention to how you listen.” ... I never noticed this phrase in Luke’s Gospel before, which proves Jesus’s point! Sometimes, I think I know exactly what Jesus is saying, so I listen without care. But behind his words lie new understandings of our life and purpose here. Listening well to the Word sheds light on your path (Psalm 119:105). Jesus teaches: listen well before you act! Listen to others; learn from one another. Jesus’s family comprises those who “hear the Word of God and do it”. Before you act, give him time; listen to him again.
