God's
Megaphone (3): Hear O Israel…
Some of us, at some point,
have faced difficulty, trouble and anxiety, illness either incidental or
accidental, over the entry of a bug, or a foreign object in our ears. The most
common being, part of earbuds.
A web article, which I
recently read on ear-safety, begins with the following words:
Our ears are
extremely delicate and damage to the inside can seriously harm your ability to
hear. In order to protect the inner workings of your ears, it is important that
you know in the event of an emergency…
External mirrors the internal, external protects the internal.
Bible says, just as we
have physical senses, we have spiritual senses too. We see with our eyes, smell
with our noses, taste with our
tongues, hear with our ears, feel with our skin. We inherit these in our physical birth. These senses also have spiritual dimension. Its
door-ways are made open to us during our spiritual rebirth! An enlightenment of hearts!
Jesus once said, 'Pay
attention to what you hear…(Mark 4:24)"
Many a time, we either
hear what we ought not to hear, or do not hear what we need to hear. This applies equally to seeing, smelling,
tasting and feeling too.
Just as an unwanted
object, an intrusive bug could harm your physical ear, an unwanted news, useless
gossip, stupid slander, mindless debate, fruitless discussion can corrupt your
'inner' spiritual 'workings' of your ear…making you deaf permanently to the
voice of God!
In what shape is your ear
today? Is it well maintained, clear of all dirt? Or is there a bud stuck
inside?
(Megaphone
will roar…)
