Open Heart and Open Ears

Sunday is more than just a day that we set aside for worship, it is a day that we hear from God. I am not saying that He does not speak during the week, but with the preaching of His Word it focuses on certain areas of our lives. He knows what we need to hear, and when we need to hear it. In order to actually attune our hearts and ears to the Word of God; we have to set our hearts to worship. Closed hearts and ears do not help us to grow in the Lord; it only hardens our hearts toward God. God is the only one that can plow our hearts, so that seeds of His Word can penetrate into our souls.

Lord, prepare our hearts for the sowing of Your seed. Lord, give the pastor the words from Your Word to speak, so that we might rejoice in what great things You have done. Lord, work in our hearts, so that we would better serve You. Thank you for Your Word and how speaks to us, Your people. Let it not be man's word that is uttered, but may Your Word speak loudly and may You be honored and glorified in Your house today. In Jesus Name, Amen.
