Jeremiah 44
When Jeremiah attempted to deliver God’s message to the Jews living in Egypt, they defiantly declared, “We will not listen.” If effect, they were shutting their ears to hear anything other than what they wanted to hear. This is called “selective hearing.” On occasion I am guilty of this condition.
Seriously, becoming a disciple of Christ requires a commitment to hear His Voice, read His Word, and obey His Spirit. Having a hearing ear is critical to function for Christ in this life.
Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. [Pr. 8:34]
