has anybody ever accused you of being a
selective listener? we tend to hear what
we want to hear. isn’t that true? we leave off the parts we don’t like and we
accept the parts that we like and we want to do.
it’s like the story of the doctor who’s driving
down the road. he looks out his car
window and he saw an elderly man jogging along the side of the road with a very
young, beautiful woman. as he looked at
the old guy he realized that the old man was his patient. so he stopped his car, rolled down his window
and hollered to the elderly man. “what
are you doing?” and the old man said, “i’m just doing what you told me to do. you told me to get a hot mama and be care
free.” the doctor said, “i told you, you
had a heart murmur and be careful!” we
all have selective hearing. we hear what
we want to!
psalms 25.4-5 (niv) gives us a good
prayer to pray. show me YOUr ways, LORD. teach
me YOUr paths. guide me in YOUr truth
and teach me. for YOU are GOD my SAVIOR.
just a thought from the front porch…
