LET Devotional #8

The RSV of Revelation 3:22 reads "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the the churches." Wouldn't it be awesome if all those one earth who can hear God speak would take the time to listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches and share it?

I think the season of Lent (40 days before Easter) might be one of the only times that most Christians draw close to God with the intent of listening to Him and hearing what He has to say to them. The scriptures instruct that we are to love the Lord with all of our heart, soul, mind and strength. I think we also need to love Him with our ears! Let us listen to the loving voice of our heavenly Father. With Jesus let us have spiritual food and drink that the world does not know anything about (John 4:31-31). He will nurture, train, and condition us for our part in the Kingdom as we yield our time to listen and our ears to hear Him. He will sustain us and equip us with hands to go forth into the world to perform His will.

God is able to "send us into the world in peace, and grant us strength and courage to love and serve Him with gladness and singleness of heart." Book of Common Prayer

Please speak, Lord, your servants are listening. Train us to hear correctly through the power of Your Holy Spirit. Amen.
