Listen, Linda!

Can you picture that extraordinary moment on the mountain? Picture it vividly – Jesus' face transformed, Moses and Elijah standing before God. It must have been a breathtaking sight! In this profound moment, God unmistakably affirms Jesus as His Son, urging us to heed Him above even the revered Moses and Elijah. If God, the Father, emphasizes listening to Jesus over these eminent figures, how much more crucial is it for us to prioritize His voice above all other influences in our lives?

Consider a scenario from your favorite game or movie. Think about when the main character receives a special item or power-up that sets them apart from everyone else. In that moment, the game or movie makes it clear that this new element is essential for success. Similarly, when God declares, "This is my Son; listen to Him," it's like receiving the ultimate power-up in the game of life.

No matter how impressive other characters may be, Jesus holds the key to triumph. So, when the noise of the world competes for your attention, remember that God has given you the ultimate power-up by pointing you toward Jesus. Prioritize His voice, and you'll navigate life's challenges with the wisdom and strength needed to emerge victorious.

Reflection

1. What are some things that can pull you away from hearing and obeying Jesus’ teaching?
2. What are some other influences in your ear that you may need to block out to hear Him?
3. Amid life's noise and distractions, how can you intentionally create space to prioritize listening to Jesus?
