ASKING
Today's reading: Jeremiah 22-23

"You should keep asking each other, 'What is the Lord's answer?' or 'What is the Lord saying?'" Jeremiah 23:35 NLT

Asking-calling on for an answer; questioning about.

I'm asking you to do me a favor.

Really, I need you to do it for me.

You need me to do it for you, too.

If you hear me begin a conversation with, 'Well, my opinion is...', stop me! Tell me to quit talking. Put your hand over my mouth. Duct tape my lips closed. Discontinue the conversation. Do not listen to me!

Stop me from offering my opinion.

But if you hear me say, 'This is what the Bible says...'

Or, 'God's Word tells us...'

Then listen up.

Listen closely.

Hang on every word.

But don't allow me to offer opinion--it's too emotionally based, personally flawed and lacking the wisdom God's advice would have.
