Deaf and Dull
"For this people's heart has grown dull, and with their ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed."
Matthew 13:15
It's sad that this verse reads like a glimpse into so many of our spiritual lives. I just hate that my ears get plugged up with the noise of the world so easily!
The Holy Spirit convicted me of this weakness soon after I suffered 2 massive heart attacks, and I've worked so hard these past 7 months to walk "unplugged".
Jesus was telling the disciples about the New Testament Christians when He quoted Isaiah in today's referenced Scripture. Even 2000+ years later, we are still dull of hearing and heart!
One thing I've heard so often but never really learned in my heart until recently is... HE is the only way! He is the One who speaks peace to the noise and chaos in our lives. Only time in His presence quickens our spirits and warms dull, lukewarm hearts.
Cling to Him! How this world needs believers who worship daily at His feet and crave the fellowship of the burning heart.
May you seek His face before you face any other today!
