Yesterday's reading was about our hearing, and how to avoid dullness of hearing by savoring the milk and the meat of God's Word. This was the remedy for hearing loss and dullness. Today we expand upon this thought, love too is a remedy for hearing loss, particularly love for other Christians. The writer here says, For God is not unjust, he will not forget how hard you have worked for him, and how you have shown your love to him. By caring for other believers, as you still do, our great desires that you will keep on loving others as long as life last, in order to make certain that what you hope for will come true, then you will not become spiritually dull and indifferent.

If we put God's word into loving action for God's people, then we will not becoming indifferent and dull of hearing, the remedy for dullness of hearing and hearing loss is to savor the milk and the meat of God's Word, AND to put the word into loving action for God's people and for this world. When we do that, we realize that our souls are anchored in Christ. And we experience the with God life. Verse 18, and 19. Therefore we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us. This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God's inner sanctuary. Jesus has already gone in there for us. Our hope in God leads us into the sanctuary, where Jesus is already gone. This with God life is a life in the presence of God, anchored to him. It's a life where we experience our utmost joy in his ultimate glory. Hear him today. be anchored in his love and know the joy of the life that you have in him. It's a life that is available to all of us, even today. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family for my wife, my daughters and my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you may be so.

You are loved!
