How Well Do You Hear?

Romans 10:17 says, “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."  We understand this to mean we need to hear the Word of God.  And often we use this to justify why people should go to church.  But look closely, there is a comma there, conveying another deeper, richer spiritual truth.

You see, yes we need to gain faith from hearing, or understanding the Word of God.  So what’s the second part?  To see this we must become blind physically.

What do I mean? The time we rely on hearing is not when things are perfectly clear but rather when things are foggy, grey, or even pitch black.  In these times we must be able to hear, using our Spiritual ears to hear our Shepherd, Jesus directing us to His side!
