Comments on: “Listen to Him!” http://rexboyles.wordpress.com/2008/07/22/listen-to-him/ I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my daily bread.

The problem was I was spending too much time listening to what people were saying that Jesus was saying instead of listening to HIM. Can you make any sense of that? He is the one and only Son. He is the one and only Savior. God has told me...you want to know what to do?? Listen to Jesus. I can listen to Him...by living like He lived. By seeking the bruised and broken, binding their wounds and leading them to the Bread of Life..to the Living Water. I made such a mess of my life when my prideful self refused to listen to Him. I do not want that life again. I want to live the way He wants me to live. I want to listen to Him.

Listening seems to have been a problem of mine since day 1. I'm sure my mother would agree. I get so distracted by any little thing that I will miss what someone is saying. I've done that with Jesus for sure. That two ears and one mouth analogy holds true ... listen more, talk less. If I will listen to Jesus I will know what to do. If I will listen to Jesus I will know what He wants. If I will listen to Jesus I will have a different heart for others. I have listened to others that have led me down some treacherous paths. I've ignored some that tried to get me back on track. I finally realized that the only One that really holds all of the answers is Jesus. Now I know Who to listen to ... I need to do it.

Guess thats a common preacher's struggle. Praying................... I seem to spend more time talking about “him”, rather than listening to him and his words.
