Have you recently had someone say to you, \u201cYou aren\u2019t listening to me?\u201d

\n

Most of us have. Maybe we weren\u2019t paying attention, or maybe we didn\u2019t want to hear what we knew someone was going to say.

\n

Whatever the reason, not listening can get us into a lot of trouble.

\n

The trouble is especially serious if we aren\u2019t listening to God. If we aren\u2019t hearing what He has to say to us.

\n
