Holy Week – Palm Sunday, April 5

Isaiah 50:4-7. God has given me a well-trained tongue, that I might know how to speak to the weary a word that will rouse them. Morning after morning God opens my ear that I may hear…

Within this text I am reminded of the relationship between speaking and hearing. Any possibility of speaking a rousing word to the weary must spring from first listening deeply to their experience. And both the ability and training to be this voice are gifts, not “givens.”
