When parents talk to their children, they sometimes feel they are talking to a wall. Imagine how the Lord feels! God laments: "If only My people would hear Me..." (Ps 81:14). Let us listen to the Lord speak:
The Lord tells us: "My sheep hear My voice...They follow Me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish" (Jn 10:27-28). "Once you know all these things, blest will you be if you put them into practice" (Jn 13:17). "Let him who has ears to hear Me, hear!" (Mk 4:23)
| PRAYER: | Father, give me "ears open to obedience" (Ps 40:7). |
| PROMISE: | "I will heal their defection, I will love them freely; for My wrath is turned away from them." –Hos 14:5 |
| PRAISE: | Michael frequently draws upon experiences of his own fatherhood to better understand the ways of God the Father. |
