Have we heard the word of Jesus? If so, how are we listening: enthusiastically or hastily?
To hear the words of the Creator isn’t an option, but a commandment (Matthew 11.15; 13.9,43; Mark 4.9; Luke 14.35; Revelation 2.7,11,17,25,29; 3.6,13,22). If we aren’t hearing His voice, we are in worse situation than Ha-Satan, inasmuch as he got audience with the Creator (Job 1.6-12; 2.1-7).
Furthermore, once only the Creator “IS” (Exodus 3.14), therefore it is His voice that define everything. So, how can we hope that our live is well-defined without hearing His voice? And how can we hope for hearing His voice if we ward off resting and biding for Him and in Him (Psalms 37.7)?
The admonition of Jesus is very clear:
I know that, at first, many times, the word of the Creator wasn’t what we desired to hear (Zechariah 7.11,12). Nevertheless, His ways go far beyond whatever plan that we dream for us (Isaiah 55.8,9; Habakkuk 3.17-19; 1Corinthians 2.9; Ephesians 3.20).
So, if you yearn for blessings coming from the heaven that follow you, hear the voice of Creator and have a superb day:
- “A wise man shall hear, and shall be wiser: and he that understandeth shall possess governments. He shall understand a parable and the interpretation, the words of the wise, and their mysterious sayings.” (Proverbs 1.5,6).

The admonition of Jesus is very clear:
- “Therefore *be careful how you hear*. For whoever has, to him shall be given; and whoever has not, from him shall be taken even that which he seems to have.” (Luke 8.18).
- “for this people's heart has become gross, and *their ears are dull of hearing*, and they have closed their eyes, lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them." (Matthew 13.15).

So, if you yearn for blessings coming from the heaven that follow you, hear the voice of Creator and have a superb day:
- “And it will be, if you shall listen carefully to the voice of Jehovah your God, to observe and to do all His commandments which I command you today, Jehovah your God will set you on high above all nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come on you and overtake you, if you will listen to the voice of Jehovah your God.” (Deuteronomy 28.2).
