Romans 10:17 NASB "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ."To be honest, all this mask wearing has been a struggle!! Having severe hearing loss means that I read lips more than I hear and with the masks on each other, it has been almost impossible to "hear" others! Today's verse shares about our faith and that comes from hearing and the hearing we listen to is the Word of Christ! I thank God that I don't have to hear His Actual Voice to know the words of His Son Jesus Christ, I have my Bible for that and the inner voice of the Holy Spirit but when it comes to hearing others, there's a good chance I'm getting it wrong. I couldn't help but think of all the "masks" we put on to cause us not to hear His Word. Masks like denial, un-forgiveness, revenge, pain, laziness, etc., they can and will cause us not to hear His Word. Maybe it's time we take off the masks and grow our faith by really hearing His Word but that means we need to be listening... the question is, are we?! peace, tom
