What voices are you listening to? Our texts today point us to our Lord’s voice. But it is clear from the John reading that many followers of Jesus did not choose to listen to His voice. Peter and the others did listen but many found our Lord’s voice hard to hear. Each of us is invited to listen to our Lord. Each of us is called by God. One thing you can do is to ask the Holy Spirit to close your ears to those voices that lead you away from Jesus. Pray also for the Holy Spirit to make you receptive to hear the voice of our Good Shepherd speaking to you. As you listen to the podcast today, ask the Spirit to open your ears. And then pray that prayer we have shared many times, “Lord make me willing to be willing to do what you are telling me to do.”
Teach me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.
Psalm 143:8
Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom can we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and know that you are the Holy One of God."
John 6:68-69
Lord Jesus, you know the words that fill my life. Some entice me. Others frustrate me. Many bore me. Bottom line, they all distract me. Irrigate my ears, O God, so I can listen again to your clear message. Wean me from handheld devices that steal my time. Instead fill my hands with helping strength that needs no passcode. Amen.
