Day 136 Bible Reading: 1 Samuel 19, John 8:31-59, Psalm 112 and Proverb 15:12-14 
We all have had those days when we return home and we are exhausted, mentally fatigued, and empty. Jesus had confronted the Jews, scribes, Pharisees, a prostitute, extreme misunderstanding and hatred. He was accused of having a demon. He wanted the believing Jews to abide in His Word, be His disciples, know the truth, and be set free. Is that too much to expect? Evidently, it was for the unbelieving Jews. As we follow the dialogue in this event, we find the Son God rejected and reasoning was falling on "deaf" ears. Wouldn’t it be great that we would have ears ready to listen and hearts ready to receive Jesus’ message?
"Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God." – John 8:47 (English Standard Version)
"Jesus, I am ready to listen to You and allow Your Words to speak to my heart. I want to keep Your Word so I never see death. Speak – your servant is listening… In your holy name, Amen."
