Listening can be either a passive or active process. In order to heed God’s call in today’s readings, we must make it the latter, which requires effort and intentionality. In your prayer, do you do more talking or listening? If the scale is tipped toward talking, then at least for today, make it your goal to listen more. We also need to free ourselves of all the noise and distractions surrounding us if we want to hear God’s “still small voice.” Commit to a three-minute period of silent listening each day, being still in the LORD.
