Yesterday, I wrote about hearing God\u2019s voice. Oh, how important it is to welcome THE VOICE, embrace THE VOICE, and — most importantly — actually hear THE VOICE. Which brings me to a confession\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m in a new season — one I wasn\u2019t planning on stepping into. It all started with a card from Miracle Ear that said, \u201cReceive a FREE $50 Amazon Gift Card — just come in for a hearing test.\u201d Easy enough. I thought, Sure, I\u2019ll collect my $50, prove my ears are as sharp as ever, and go on my merry way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, “pride goes before the fall” — or in this case, before the hearing aids. An hour later, after all the beeps, hums, and \u201craise your hand when you hear this\u201d moments, the results were in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apparently, when I\u2019m in a crowd, conversations were slipping right past me. The solution? Tiny, invisible hearing aids. WHAT?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At first, I bristled. Glasses, okay. But now gadgets in my ears? Vanity and pride whispered, This is not what I signed up for. But gratitude quickly spoke louder: thank God for technology that helps these body parts last a little longer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And oh, what a difference! I can hear conversations without strain, laughter without guessing, and whispers without leaning so far in I practically tumble out of my chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It got me thinking — how often do we suffer from \u201cspiritual hearing loss\u201d? The noise of fear, worry, and distractions drowns out God\u2019s still, small voice. Before long, we forget what clarity feels like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jesus said, \u201cMy sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.\u201d (John 10:27) His voice cuts through the chaos, but we need spiritual amplifiers — prayer, Scripture, worship, fellowship — to tune our hearts to Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So now, glasses help me see. Hearing aids help me hear. And both remind me that I don\u2019t want to miss a thing. Not the laughter of my friends. Not the voice of my husband. And certainly not the whisper of my Savior saying, \u201cThis is the way; walk in it.\u201d (Isaiah 30:21)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, there\u2019s a cost — but the benefit is priceless. Thank God for technology that helps these body parts last a little longer! Even better, thank God for His Spirit who keeps our hearts tuned to His voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
