SCRIPTURE: Job 20; Mark 3-4
Mark 4:23
“Are you listening to this? Really listening?
OBSERVATIONS: Jesus simply checks the pulse of the listener to make sure he is still engaging them. This is done by almost all great teachers. “Are you with me? Does that make sense?”
APPLICATION: Am I listening? Are my actions proving that I’m actually living these words of Christ that I’ve been studying for close to all of my life? Time to check the course and see how I’m doing. A little check-up. Man, I need a small group–bad.
PRAYER: Hello Lord. Thanks for the instruction and guidance. Where I am failing or beginning to fail, please have one of my brothers or sisters to nudge me back into place. And if I’m listening poorly, I hope you’ll be kind when you set about getting my attention again. For the sake of Christ and His life in mine, Amen.
