Discussion: Listening

What does it mean to you when someone listens to you?

How would you describe the difference between hearing and listening?

Would others say you were good at listening?

How could you get better at listening?

“He said, “If you listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you.”

-Exodus 15:26 (NIV)

“I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry.”
-Psalm 40:1 (NIV)

Be willing to learn, and approach God (and others) in humility, knowing you have much to learn.

Ezra J. Engle
