“My people, hear my teaching; listen to the words of my mouth (Ps. 78:1, NIV).”
Last week, I was driving in my car listening to the radio. All of a sudden, the emergency broadcast system jarred my ears with the sound we are all familiar with. I am glad it interrupted my peaceful moment of singing because the alert concerned imminent weather ahead, producing golf size hail!
Although the dark clouds above indicated a storm was brewing, I wouldn’t have sought shelter or raced home if I hadn’t listened to the warning from the emergency broadcast system. This extra information saved me from potential danger.
The same is true with God’s word. He wants us to incline our ears to his teaching and make sure we listen carefully to the commands and precepts written in Scripture. He repeats this many times throughout history. He tells the prophet Isaiah:
“Incline your ear and come to Me; listen, so that your soul may live. I will make with you an everlasting covenant–My loving devotion promised to David (Isaiah 55:3).”
