John 12:28-30
Father, glorify your name.’ Then a voice came from heaven, ‘I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.’ The crowd standing there heard it and said that it was thunder. Others said, ‘An angel has spoken to him.’ Jesus answered, ‘This voice has come for your sake, not for mine.’
As I read these verses, I wondered – how often do I listen to God’s voice? I’m certain it is not nearly as often as God would like me to listen. Also, does God feel sad when I don’t listen to him? Would my life be better or would I make better decisions if I listened to God more often? If I don’t listen to Him, am I missing something?
I am certain in God’s eyes the answer to all of my questions is a resounding YES! During Lent, I am going to try a little harder to listen because I know God is watching and talking to me. As I was thinking about this, I was reminded of a song I learned at Church Choir camp as a child, He’s Got His Eyes on You. As we move through Lent I am going to keep that song with me as a reminder to work a little harder to listen to God.
Won’t you join me during Lent and try a little harder to listen to God and remember He is always watching us?
