The Daily Ricky

I heard one of the best sermons on planting seed, I think I’ve ever heard.

My interim pastor did a thorough job, he should be congratulated! I promise, the next time I see him ; I will.

How often we forget before we leave the church, what the preacher preached It’s not his fault, it’s ours!

Our mind is filled sometimes with thoughts of lunch or other events we have planned.

All we have to do is LISTEN! It’s one of the most disguised ways of the enemy, to steal our joy. You see, the Pastor brings the Word to set us free but , let’s be real; sometimes we blow it!\

What do we do? Well, what we should do before any sermon, pray that our minds and heart are in the right frame of mind; to receive God;s spoken word.

I suggest taking notes, if you can. Train yourself to take notes and listen at the same time.

It’s a proven fact, the mind retains more of what it sees. So listening and writing is a sure fire way to retain more!

Lord, forgive us for not giving Your Word it’s rightful place in our hearts and minds, open and come in. Amen!
