"He ordered them not to tell anyone. But the more he ordered them not to, the more they proclaimed it." Mark 7:36
Why is it we don't listen to God? Jesus was speaking to the crowd after he healed the deaf and mute man. They didn't listen to Jesus and did the exact opposite. "As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, "Do not tell the vision to anyone until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead." Matthew 17:9. This passage is from the transfiguration and the disciples dis as Jesus said. I share both of these verses to show the contrast to those whom are in covenant union with God and those who are not. When God speaks, we have free will to choose whom we are to obey, who is King of your heart. Learn to listen and obey the Masters voice.
Dear Father God, You know we are only human striving for eternity. Open our ears so we can hear You and obey. I thank You for the struggle to comprehend this morning, it gave us more time together. I pray for a friend who is overcoming challenges in his life and is learning to heed Your voice. Help him see the difference in being obedient to Your will. Show him the peace You have given others who have chosen You to be the King of their hearts. Bless this day Lord with peace, Amen.
Mary, Mother of Mercy, pray for us.
