About this listen

Today’s readings focus on how following God often involves patience, trust, and attention to things that don’t always feel exciting or urgent. Together, these passages ask us to consider how we respond when obedience requires care rather than speed, and faithfulness looks ordinary instead of dramatic.


In Exodus 25–26, God gives detailed instructions for building the Tabernacle, showing His people that His presence is not something to approach casually. Every measurement, material, and placement reinforces the idea that responding to God involves listening carefully and following through with intention, even when the reasons aren’t fully explained.


In Matthew 20:17–34, Jesus speaks plainly about what lies ahead for Him and then responds patiently to misunderstanding, ambition, and need. The passage highlights how easily people miss what God is doing when expectations,assumptions, or personal desires take center stage.


Together, these readings invite us to reflect on how we handle God’s direction in our own lives. They leave us considering whether we are willing to slow down, pay attention, and trust God in the details, even when the path forward doesn’t unfold the way we expect.
