“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’ (Revelation 2:29 NKJV)
My special needs daughter is hearing impaired. She hears nothing with her left ear and has a hearing aide in the right ear. With the aide, she hears remarkably well because she has trained herself to do so.
Sometimes I am hard of hearing too. Not physically though. My sense of hearing is extremely keen; I am hard of hearing spiritually. God speaks, but I don't hear Him. Why? I don't think I have my "hearing aides" on.
When Morgan has just taken a shower or first thing in the morning, I have to yell for her to hear me because she does not have her aide in her ear. Spiritually, God has to speak loudly at times for me to hear, because I am not using my spiritual aides, prayer and Bible study as I should. With my aides, I find I hear Him much more clearly. He can whisper and I can hear.
Today I choose to grab my aides and put them in place in my life. I don't want to miss a word He says.
