"Sacrifice and offering you do not want; you opened my ears. Holocaust and sin-offering you do not request; so I said, "See; I come with an inscribed scroll written upon me. I delight to do your will, my God; your law is in my inner being!"" Psalms 40:7-9
"You opened my ears", there is something to be said about reading scripture first thing in the morning. A little bit each day and I know God is putting His will within me. God gave us ears to hear so we can think and ponder upon His words. He doesn't want some blind response, He wants your heart and a willing heart. If you read today's gospel, Jesus speaks very plainly. "He told them, "Let us go on to the nearby villages that I may preach there also. For this purpose have I come."" Mark 1:38. If He is preaching, we are hearing. When we are listening and thinking, God is working within. Together You and Him are working on the inner self. Listen and think, 🤔, His law is in your inner being.
Dear Lord, I thank You for the joy! I thank You for being able to ponder Your word and for You working within. You are being written on my heart. Open my ears Lord and make way for You to grow. I look forward to this day, may You be on my lips as You are in my heart. Amen.
Mary, Queen of Saints, pray for us.
