April 5th - Listen!

“For as in Adam all die, so in Christ ALL will be made alive…" (1 Corinthians 15:22)

I learned to listen to my wife following a low point in our wonderful 46 years of marriage.

Sue Ann and I were driving back home from Oklahoma City, which is about a two hour drive. Weatherford is about half way, so when we got to Weatherford I heard Sue Ann say, “Earth to Robert…Earth to Robert…come in Robert.” I looked over at her and said, “What?” She said, “Robert, you haven’t heard a word I’ve been saying, have you? I’ve been telling you about this for an hour." All I could say in response was, “Sorry sweetheart but I’m paying attention now." Needless to say, I still do not know what she said but I did notice the utter silence for the next several days.

“Listen, I tell you a mystery: …we will ALL be changed—in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable…Death has been swallowed up in victory.” (1 Corinthians 15:51-54)

It is amazing what we can learn from God if we will just listen!
