Imagine if we did all the talking every time we saw our friends, then, got up and left, without hearing what they had to say. It would not be long before they told us to “shut-up” or they would be on your MIA Friend list! Funny, why would we (me, me, me) do that when we pray to God? We tell God what we want, like he’s Santa Clause, as we read our notty and nice list. Then, we get up and leave, not even taking time to listen.
HINT: “BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD” (Psalm 46:8-10) is not just a got saying! Pray, Stop and Listen!
p.s., Some of the best shared sermons are a “self-talk.” AMEN (and OUCH)! – Signed, Me, Myself & I
