I can read the Bible but not really hear what God is saying to me. If I don’t hear what God is saying how can I live a life that is pleasing unto the Lord. Daily I need to so surrender to God’s word that I understand what He really wants of me.

while. Then, I had a wonderful thought that maybe I could get even with 
her. I thought about it, put it together very nicely, and was ready to 
put it together when she walked in. 

She came home from shopping and put the bags on the table, so I went to
the kitchen, looked at her, and said, "Can I have the Apple Fritter 
that you promised me now?" I was laughing on the inside and trying to 
keep it from coming to the outside. There was no way she was going to 
get out of this one. 

Looking at me seriously, she said, "Oh, my dear. I got that Apple
Fritter, and it smelled so good that I'm afraid I ate it on the way 
home." 

To counteract that, I would number the days of my life. I have not known
her to eat an Apple Fritter with this time she got me. 

I wish I could prepare for the next trick she'll play on me, but I'm
afraid I won't be able to. 

Thinking about this I was reminded of a special verse of scripture. My
spiritual life is based on my hearing the “word of God.” 

“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God,”
Romans 10:17. 

I can read the Bible but not really hear what God is saying to me. If I
don't hear what God is saying how can I live a life that is pleasing 
unto the Lord. Daily I need to so surrender to God's word that I 
understand what He really wants of me.
