Don’t Just Hear
It isn’t what we say or think that defines us, but what we do. (Jane Austen, author)
With all that we hear on TV, radio, and social media, you would think that broadcast speech is all that is important. But, if we hear only what politicians, podcasters, or celebrities say, we may only have a great void in truth. The best test to verify what we hear is to see what the speaker has done. “Actions speak louder than words,” so to paraphrase Ronald Regan, “Listen, then verify.”
The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right, and his ears are open to their prayers (1 Peter 3:12).
