Evening: Psalm 119:73-96; Luke 8:16-25
Jesus
says, “pay attention to how you listen.” What an important part of his
message this is. It’s so easy to listen with your own answer running;
or to assume you know what’s coming. The way we hear depends on the
assumptions we bring to our listening. Sometimes, though, it’s vital to
have a filter through which to listen. Paul says, “be subject to the
ruling authorities”; then, he says, “owe no-one anything but to love one
another.” In other words, authority that does not serve love is
questionable. Listen with the ears of love.
