And it made all the difference in their lives.
Amid all the noise of this celebrity society in which we live,
to Whom am I listening?
I find myself still trying to change people.
And I find people trying to change me.
I see the look of disapproval, of disdain.
And my default goes to defense.
Oh God! Help me to repent in the moment I hear.
May we all go back to the conclusion:
Ecclesiastes 12:13 - Fear God and Keep the Word.
Draw up that Empty Chair and listen to the Voice so Dear.
COME BOLDLY: Timeless Prayers
Dear Father, I am so defensive---and so are the others. But I can do something about me. Help each one of us with our desires for righteousness to really listen for Your Voice today. Love covers a multitude of sins. So, when I cannot get over the grievances, the gestures gone awry, then let me realize it is Your Voice calling me to repent. Those times when people annoy, disrupt, condescend, and get away with it. May I let it go for it is in Your Hands.
