Luke 10:16 He who hears you hears Me, he who rejects you rejects Me, and he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me.

Jesus did not go about His ministry telling people how much He loved them and healing everyone all the time… there were times when He told people the harsh truth and they did not like it!

We find the same as we go out and tell people of the truth because not everyone wants to hear the truth; how would you like to be told something you thought was true was just a lie.

God wants us all to love Him openly and truthfully. There is no way that He will accept lies and no way that He will put up with people saying they love Him when they speak against Christ!

Proverbs 8:34 Blessed is the man who listens to me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors.

It is a wise man who will listen to instruction and a wise leader who will listen to advice as well. If we are willing to listen then we can learn from everybody.

It does not have to be the brainiest of doctors who teach us, not the greatest of speakers, but someone who is willing to teach the truth or talk about God.

Wisdom comes from hearing and hearing come through listening; but it should be that we listen always to ensure we do not miss those wise words spoken.

Waiting on God continually strengthens us and shed the truth about us!

1 Kings 10:8 Happy are your men and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom!

When the queen of Sheeba came to Solomon to find out about his wisdom and to improve her own, she was probably not prepared for all that she saw and heard.

She saw just how happy the men of Israel were under his guidance and how they thrived in knowing that their king was so wise all the time.

By the end of her visit she knew that this came from God and that it was God who deserved the praise; but the happiness belonged to the people who came under that God, our God!
