Ears to Hear, Eyes to see

Proverbs 4:20-21

My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to My words.

Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart.

When you are part of a choir, your ears play a very important role. Your ears have to be sharp in order for you to blend in nicely. If you cover your ears and ignore the key which the music is playing in, your voice will be out of tune, and it will cause disharmony.

When you are playing basketball in a team, your eyes play a very important role. If you are blindfolded during the game, you may hit other players or you may get hit by the ball and you will cause your team to lose.

There are always some consequences when we are not making use of our body parts when we are supposed to. This happened to the Israelites during Ezekiel’s time. They were so rebellious that they simply chose not to see what God was showing them or hear what He was saying to them. 

Let it be a reminder for us to open the eyes and ears of our hearts so that we can see what God is doing and hear Him speaking to us.

Prayer

Dear God, let my ears listen to Your words and see You through the Holy Spirit. Speak to me God as I am ready to listen. Amen.
