[[-SOAP HUB]] | [[-Psalm Overview]] | [[Psalm 85]] ## Title: Keep Listening ## Scripture: (Psalm 85:8) “I will listen to what God the Lord says. For he will make peace with his people, his faithful followers. Yet they must not return to their foolish ways.” (NET) ## Observation: When I was younger, my mouth worked faster than my brain. Often, I would hear part of what someone would say and start talking. I was so interested in engaging with a new idea that I did not hear all of what they were saying. It must have been extremely frustrating to talk to me. While I am still not great at it, I have learned that listening carefully is a skill. If we listen more than we talk, we are usually going to hear more than we expected. It’s like that when we read God’s Word. When we read God’s Word daily and approach each passage as though it is the first time, we can be surprised at what we will find. There’s richness in every passage that we have never found. Every day, be sure to come to God’s Word with fresh eyes and watch as He reveals Himself to you in fresh and new ways. ## Application: Read God’s Word with fresh eyes every day. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for always being fresh and new to all who truly seek You.
