The people of Nazareth heard Jesus’ words but refused to truly listen. Their preconceived notions about Him prevented them from receiving the truth.
How often do we do the same? Do we read Scripture with an open heart, or do we skim through it, assuming we already know what it says? Are there areas in our lives where we ignore God’s call because it challenges our expectations?
Take time today to reflect on where you might need to listen more closely to God. Ask Him to reveal areas where pride or routine have made you spiritually deaf.
