"For the heart of this people has become dull, with their ears they scarcely hear, and they have closed their eyes, otherwise they would see with their eyes, hear with their ears, and understand with their heart and return, and I would heal them." -Matthew 13:15 (NASB)
Our country is diverse and there are many opinions about how to do things and the direction that the country should take. Often we see people not stopping to look or listen to the opinions of others. We sometimes struggle communicating because we seemingly close our eyes and cover our ears. It is difficult to move forward when our eyes and ears are closed!
As we interact with those around us, we need to remember to keep our heart centered on God and our ears and eyes open to see His direction. Even in the midst of shouting and protest, God can speak to us and can show us the way. Through prayer, we can turn to God and ask for His guidance. We then must be sure our hearts, eyes, and ears are open to what God is saying. The path that God shows us may not be the the most popular or the easiest one to travel, but He will travel with us each step of the way! Our actions, however small we may think they are, can help return ourselves and those around us to the will of God.
Open your eyes, ears, and hearts so you can return to God and experience His healing!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for the promises that You have given me. Please heal me and allow my actions to be consistent with Your will for my life. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
