Sometimes the people we love do not communicate. From Psalm 81 the Lord says There shall be no foreign god among you; you shall not bow down to an alien god. …
But my people did not listen to my words; Israel would not submit to me
We have a God who is a jealous God Exodus 20.
I find it had to believe that God could be jealous but somehow it might be a translation problem that I don’t understand.
Later in Psalm 81 says, My people heard not my voice
Israel went into rebellion against David’s house.
Sounds like our country today.
Stop! No Politics!
God is not worried about politics.
He is worried and jealous about our relationship to Him.
In the Psalm He laments, If only my people would hear me.
Like all husbands and wives we sometime don’t communicate. It doesn’t mean we don’t love each other, but like all relationships we need to renew it.
The same is true with our relationship with God.
As we renew our relationships with our loved ones today. Don’t forget our relationship with God.
Mark’s Gospel says, Ephphatha that is be open. The secret is to listen.
Listen to God
Listen to your spouse
Listen to everyone around you.
Mostly Listen to God who yearns for us to listen to Him.
God love you always
