Can You Hear It?

March 24, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Deuteronomy 1:43
So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and went presumptuously up into the hill.

 

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

   

    Have you ever been in a crowded room where everyone seemed to be talking at the same time? All the conversations were good, and they all seem to be important to the people who are involved in them. Then someone steps up to the microphone and begins to speak. You try to listen, you hear something, but cannot make out exactly what because the noise of the crowd is drowning out the speaker. Finally, in exhaustion, you give up and go back to the conversation you were in before. At least you could hear what was being said in that one.

 

    In today’s passage, we find the children of Israel so busy talking with each other about what they were doing in their lives, that they never took the time to listen to God. Were they concerned about their life? Sure they were. Did they try to figure out what to do next? Yes. However, with all their talking about what to do, did they drown out God, the one who could make a difference? Yes, they did.

 

    When we stop to think, we are often just like God’s Children of Israel. We are daily busy trying to fix the world and discussing how to make things better. We get so tied up in our daily lives that we forget to listen to the one who gave us life to begin with. If we would stop for just a few minutes each day and listen, really listen to the Lord, I am sure He has something very important to say. Something we need to hear.   

  

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

 

    Before we go flying through another day, STOP, take a moment to pause and open God’s Word. A great way to begin would be to read Psalm 119:18 and repeat those words to the Lord. “Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.” Listen… Listen. Do you hear it? There is a still small voice speaking just to you. 

 

What is your daily routine before you
open and read God’s Word?

 

IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:

Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this Passage, and today’s Devotion?

 

Do I find within this reading a CHALLENGE for my life?

 

What are one or two things I WILL DO today or this week to accept that CHALLENGE?
