Gene’s Daily Scriptural Postings

04 February 2025

Do you know someone who seems to dominate every conversation they are in? They never really listen to what anyone else has to say because they do all the talking. How does that make you feel?

Now imagine what God feels like when we do all the talking and never listen to what He has to say. I’m guessing He might not appreciate it so much either. Fortunately there’s some good news, if you realize you’ve been relating to God by doing all the talking and rarely, if ever, listening.

This is something you can change today. It’s simply a matter of remembering to listen to God when you pray. Allow your prayer time to be a true conversation where both sides can speak. Think about it. What He has to say to you personally will make a much bigger difference in your life than moat anything you can say to Him anyway.

Rest assured of this: Building a habit of listening to God will transform your life.

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
