Symbol: Chatty
Friend
Lesson: True
Friends Also Listen
Illustration:
Have you ever had a friend that every time you two are together, they dominate
the conversation, not giving you the opportunity to say much, if anything, at
all? It can be exhausting and eventually you will begin to wonder if you friend
isn't a bit self-centered. You may also wonder if they truly value you as a
friend or if they are just using you.
The same can be said of our
relationship with Jehovah. We may pray frequently, but do we allow him to talk
to us through our reading of his word the Bible? This reading should not be a
rare occasion like a friend that allows us to interject a thought every so
often. Rather, we should view it as children eagerly gathered around the feet
of an interesting story teller at the public library. These children want to
listen. Likewise, on a daily basis we should sit at the feet of our heavenly
Father and "listen" to him as we read the Bible.
