When no one is listening

 An Emoji Devotions for Easter Sunday 2021

Topic: When no one is listening

Highlight: 

This is why I use stories to teach the people: They see, but they don’t really see. They hear, but they don’t really understand. Matthew 13:13

Like with fingerprint, no two people have the same brain anatomy. But Abraham said to him, ‘No! If your brothers won’t listen to Moses and the prophets, then they won’t listen to someone who comes back from death.’” Like 16:31 - Is there anyone in your life who doesn't want to listen even when you are telling them the truth? 

People have sought too much knowledge and nothing is new to them anymore. Some don't even want to care to see or hear anything. All their spiritual senses have been shut and the only thing they want is their entertainment. Remember, there are harmless stories that won't cause emotional distress and in another aspect unveil hidden truths to people. The stories that will show them their real conditions and what is missing in their lives. This was Jesus's approach of speaking in parables to the people in His time. When he often speak without parables, they tried to stone him. Like Jesus we must pray that God should touch our tongue and give us fitting words to say when we speak. Isaiah 50:4

Everyone enjoys a fitting reply; it is wonderful to say the right thing at the right time! Like apples of gold in settings of silver Is a word spoken at the right time Proverbs 15:23 & 25:11

Now we know what to do when no one is listening.

Prayer: Almighty creator I pray for well instructed tongue and brain to know and speak the words that sustains life in Jesus name. Amen
