Mark 4:9 – Ears to Hear Need Q-Tips
A dear old lady at church when I was a teenager would always have a smile and encouraging word. She couldn’t hear, but loved coming. One day they discovered part of the hearing problem was about 8 feet of built up earwax. That might be a slight exaggeration. Once removed, the smile was even bigger! Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear” and I will add, must first clean out his ear wax so he can hear. What is keeping us from hearing? Tradition? Hurt? Ego? Peer Pressure? Sin? To perryphrase another popular saying, “First clean out the ear wax in your own ears before giving others their needed Q-tips.”
