Read Mark chapter 4.
So much of this chapter has to do with hearing -- interference with, necessity of, and the value of.
I don't know my own heart, Lord. I'll always want to describe it better than it is.
Show me what keeps me from hearing and doing what you speak. It isn't that You're silent. It's that, too often, I'm not. Let me heed Your admonition: "Be careful how you hear." When You speak, stir me to do more than acknowledge it between my ears. Let it lodge in my spirit! May I entertain that word, enjoy it, consider it, assimilate it. This will serve me well during life's storms.
No matter the trial, its severity or its duration, You're taking me to "the other side." Only Your word and Your presence are sufficient to carry me through. Speak peace over your servant, Lord.
