MORE THAN THAT

Luke 11:28 (NKJV) 28 But He said, "More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!"
   Talking with a couple in a nursing home they were giving praise to God for their long life together, the wife hard of hearing said loudly, "What did you say," her sweet husband replied, "I said living with you has been sweet because of our God," she smiled and nodded knowingly.
    Someone tried to change the subject, Jesus keeps the focus on the only thing we need, to hear and obey the Word of God. So many distractions, so much to do, we are not better off with the conveniences of this century, we have grown colder and indifferent to worship and walking with God. The quiet voice of our Creator is being obscured by the volume of the noise in our ears, by the flash of color in our lives and the sad reasoning of our justifications. The Word of God is the most important thing for living, more than everything else, we must obey Him.
Heavenly Father the life we live in you is evidence of what we really believe, help us to stick to your Truth and avoid the distractions that destroy. Help us to hear and keep your Word. Amen
