- WITH EAGER ATTENTIVENESS--as Ezra read scripture from "daybreak till noon". (Neh. 8:3)
- WITH REVERENCE AND WORSHIP ----all stood in reverence and then bowed down to worship the Lord (Neh. 8:5-6)
- WITH UNDERSTANDING--they helped others understand what they heard, (Neh. 8:7-8)
- WITH REPENTANCE--after hearing God's word they were convicted of sin and repented with mourning and weeping. (Nehemiah 8:9)
The entry has been in the forefront of my mind.
I started today listening to Him as I meditated on His word. Throughout the day, I thought of hearing God in many ways these last five days.
- Rain splashing against the window as I fell asleep last night. For one who struggles with insomnia, that was music to my ears.
- Hubby "duck-talking" to Lucy. A song, a song, through the air waves of FaceTime.
- A nervous Owen's solo of the 3rd verse of Silent Night at "Winter Celebration" at school. Radiant beams for sure with baby Jack's infectious smile as he saw his big brother.
- Radio" voice of "The Old Coach" waiting for him to mention, "Liles splits left."
Awareness of God in the daily.....had me "hearing" in a spiritual way.
"Do you hear what I hear" throughout your day.
Awareness is key to "hearing.
