Thought for the day:

When an instructor, teacher or preacher is talking to a crowd of two people, each person thinks the message is intended for the other person.

We might not listen to something because it is meant for 'someone else'. Or we might listen intently FOR someone else, trying to remember it so we can repeat it to our neighbor who needs to hear it.

I was thinking this morning...how might my life be different if I actually listened to the Old Testament prophets, to pastors and sermons, with the acknowledgement that they are talking directly to me? Not to the collective conscience of my Christian culture or my world, but to only me? Would I listen differently if I was the only one in the room?
