If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts. - Psalm 95:7-8
The response from today's psalm is a plea from God; "Don't turn your back to me." Taken from Psalm 95, one of the options for the invitation for Morning Prayer, it reminds us that we need to listen for God as He speaks to us and to be open to the message that He has for us. Too often in our lives we close our minds and hearts to the cry of God that comes from those who we encounter: the poor, the homeless, the refugee, the physically and mentally ill. God calls us to repent of our cold, uncaring ways and to open our hearts to receive and share His infinite mercy for us with those who we meet. Every day is a new beginning for us; an new opportunity to soften our hearts and listen to God. Listen for Him today.
