“When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain; and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him. He opened His mouth and began to teach them…”
— Matthew 5:1–2 NASB1995
🔍 Who Are You Listening To?
Every day, you scroll past voices that tell you who you should be, how you should look, and what success means. But Jesus’ first move wasn’t to gain followers—it was to invite disciples to come close. He sat down and began to speak not to the world, but to those who wanted to truly hear Him.
The real question isn’t just what you’re listening to—it’s who you’re following. Are you showing up for Jesus’ words the same way you show up for YouTube, TikTok, or your group chat? He wants to teach you. But He won’t shout over the noise. You have to come near.
🔊 Real Talk:
- What voices influence you the most in a day?
- What would it look like to make space to hear Jesus more clearly?
✨ Try This:
Put your phone away for 10 minutes. Find a quiet place. Open your Bible to Matthew 5. Read verses 1–2. Ask Jesus to speak to your heart. Write down one thing that stands out.
✍️ Prayer:
Jesus, I want to hear from You more than the noise around me. Help me slow down and listen. Help me become a real disciple, not just a fan. Speak to my heart. Amen
