Caring Enough To Listen

Scripture
Jeremiah 23:18 “Have any of these prophets been in the Lord’s presence
to hear what he is really saying? Has even one of them cared enough to listen?

Observation
This was written in the midst of a strong rebuke to the false prophets and wicked shepherds. Jeremiah focuses on actually being in the Lord's presence, and not only listening, but caring enough to listen.

Application
This whole chapter is a good one to read regularly. I can certainly be reminded that I need to really be in the Lord's presence. I need to take time to listen, because I care.

Prayer
Dear Lord, please help me to wait in Your presence, hear Your voice, and minister to Your people out of that relationship.
