“Then those who feared the\u00a0Lord\u00a0spoke with each other, and the\u00a0Lord\u00a0listened to what they said. In his presence, a scroll of remembrance was written to record the names of those who feared him and always thought about the honor of his name.” Malachi 3:16, NLT<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some people assume that holy and sacred things only take place within the walls of the church, yet this verse says that every time you talk about the Lord with believers God is paying close attention. In fact, the phrase Malachi uses here means “to bend down so as not to miss a word.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What an incredible thought! God deeply desires that we spend time discussing him, his attributes, and what he is doing in our lives with other believers. That gives us one more reason to make friends with other believers and take part in Bibles studies and church activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next time you get together with your Christian friends, don’t just make small talk. Make the Lord, a central part of your conversation. He is listening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
