Boot Camp Day 14 – Do you have Selective Listening?

by | Nov 14, 2013 | Uncategorized

Don’t miss the announcements following the devotion!
 

Isaiah 66:2

“This is the one I esteem,” declares the Lord, 
“He who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my Word.”

When you open your Bible – and nothing is making sense to you…
When you feel like you’re merely reading words…

Don’t forget this is Boot Camp – I’m going to be direct:  Are you a selective listener in your quiet time? 

For many YEARS, I was a selective listener.  I genuinely wanted to hear from God…  BUT… if it required too much of a change in my lifestyle…   No thank you!   
OR if it required letting go of an area of my lifestyle that I highly valuedNo thank you!  I’d want to turn to another page and read about God’s love!  (Talk about selective listening…)
So, how do you respond when God impresses something on your heart that you don’t want to hear? 
Do you tremble at the Word of the Lord?  Are you humble towards what He has to say

Or do you disregard it, thinking,He can’t be talking about that.  Surely, He’s not telling me to…’  (For far too long, this was my response.)

I’ve had Him reveal areas of pride and unforgiveness in my life.   I’ve had Him impress upon my heart to apologize, even when it would be humiliatingly embarrassing to do so…

If you and I want to grow closer to God…
If we want to hear Him speaking personally to us – (and He will speak!)
If you need resurrection life in your marriage; parenting and/or business…
If you want your everyday life to be more joy-filled and peaceful…

WE CANNOT BE SELECTIVE LISTENERS.

We must approach our quiet time with a humble, contrite spirit.  And when He speaks, our job is to tremble at His Word with a response.
