FLUFF IN OUR EAR?

Isaiah 65:24 NLT I will answer them before they even call to me. While they are still talking about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers!

Have you ever read Winnie the Pooh books? Well I read a typical Pooh comment recently which said, “If the person you’re talking to doesn’t appear to be listening, be patient. It may be that he just has a small piece of fluff in his ear.” That made me smile.😊 

But have you ever been talking to someone and they don’t appear to be listening? Well instead of getting frustrated or irritated just think of them with a small piece of fluff in their ear and it’ll help diffuse any tension.😊

Seriously though, we can sometimes feel frustrated when we’ve talked to God about situations and it looks like nothing is happening, so we think He’s not listening. But He assures us over and over again in scripture that He is. In fact He says He has already answered before we even asked and you can’t ask for more than that can you?!

When we don’t see things changing, we need to remember God is always in the process of working in the background, and it’s when we need the fruit of patience! Sometimes it’s us He’s changing which is probably why some things take a long time to happen!😊

It could be that we have a small piece of fluff in our ears and we’re not hearing what God is saying to us! Or He may have given us an instruction but we haven’t done as He said. Either way we need to remove the fluff!

Psalm 55:16-17 NLT But I will call on God, and the Lord will rescue me. Morning, noon, and night I cry out in my distress, and the Lord hears my voice.

So whatever you’re talking to God about, know for sure He heard your voice, He is listening and working all things out for your good. He says to cast all your cares on Him because He cares for you. Are we listening, or is there still a bit of fluff there?

Father we’re so grateful You do listen to us and You are answering our prayers. Thank You Lord. Amen.
