“Tune your ears to wisdom, and concentrate on understanding.” Proverbs 2:2 NLT
Dogs can hear approximately four times the distance of humans. I have often noticed Famous reacting to car doors closing near the house or sirens screaming on our walks before I do. He is like a radio broadcaster telling me to stand by for an important announcement. I make a point not to listen to music when we are walking for two reasons. The first is to be able to react quickly to any sudden danger such as a bicycle approaching us from behind, and the second is to share a bit of his sensory world.
Dogs can also use those ears to hear our “emotional’ broadcasts. Famous may have a limited vocabulary, but he understands when I am loving, frustrated, sad, or angry by the tone of my voice. He knows when I am most approachable and when it is best to leave me to the task at hand.
With so many distractions in the world it can be difficult to “tune in” to God. If we make listening to God’s prompting a part of our every day, then He can also give us a forecast of what is going to transpire.
Open my ears, Lord, and help me to listen.
