Pat Tornatore relates the following story:

It was a typical noisy dinner at my parent’s home, and Dad was having trouble following the conversations. He kept jumping in with off-topic comments and asking for things to be repeated. I finally told him he needed to get a hearing aid. Looking at me as if I were crazy, he said, “What would I do with a hand grenade?”

In his Word, God speaks to us clearly and distinctly. We must be careful to listen to what he says.

“Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches…”—Revelation 2:7
