Proverbs - Praying Involves Listening


Proverbs 28:9

He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.

We must not turn our ear away from hearing the law.  If we are a people who are always praying and asking but refusing to hear from the scriptures, the Lord tells us that our prayer shall be an abomination.  That is a pretty strong word!  We must be disciples who sit down and hear what God has said in His Word and not just want some sort of personal revelation that might very well contradict what He has already said.  Sometimes I am praying about something and then I go to church and find the answer in the bible study.  This is very exciting.  If I pray and then stay home from church and not open the word, what kind of relationship is that?  It is an abomination.  Let us be hearers of His Word and women that pray alongside what He has already spoken.
