He Hears You!

The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught. Mark 6:30

Often we gather to hear the words of Jesus and the disciples did too. Those words are of course of the greatest value to us. Here in this verse we see the disciples gathering and Jesus listening. As so few of the disciples' words were written down in the gospels, and there must have been a great many questions in the three or so years the group traveled together, we do not always get to know what they said. However, in this case they reported teaching what Jesus had taught them and doing those things He had shown them to do. What we may miss in this one verse though is Jesus listening. Yes, He heard them out as those disciples told the Lord of their adventures in teaching. What a delight!

Our hope and comfort from this is that we too can talk to the Lord in prayer and know that He hears us. Yes, He hears you!
