TUNE
Today's reading: Proverbs 1-4

"Tune your ears to wisdom, and concentrate on understanding." Proverbs 2:2 NLT

Tune-to bring into harmony; to adjust for precise functioning; to make more precise, intense or effective.

I remember my first AM/FM radio.

I remember the shelf it sat on in my bedroom. A shelf that was just high enough that little sister couldn't reach it.

I remember it took a boatload of 'D' batteries. A stunning mechanical marvel at its time, I'm sure. Top of the electronics heap for the early 80's.

I remember my best friends and I sitting around it at each and every slumber party we had.

I remember that it had a large dial with which I would have to tune into the local radio station.

I remember the dial had to be right on the money, a little to the left and it was static...a little to the right and it was radio silence.

I remember it didn't work in certain places, like the barn, where there was too much metal to allow the radio frequencies make it to the little antenna.

I remember the work it took to make the radio provide me with what I wanted to hear. The batteries that needed changing, the manual turning of the dial, the making sure I was in the right place.

So it is with God.

How badly am I wanting to hear Him?

How far from distractions will I go to make sure there is clear connecting?

Will I keep my 'batteries' charged by reading His Word, attending church, keeping sin from life?

Will I stick with it when I ask Him to speak?

Am I willing to tune in?
