In this program Joni reminisces about a sweet story of her father. God is always listening, encouraging you to live faithfully and intentionally.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada, and one of my most precious memories of my father was when he tiptoed into the living room while I was playing the piano. For a long while, I did not see him, but then I caught him out of the corner of my eye, sitting in the chair just beyond my piano bench. Suddenly, the music I was making was much more important, and I played with carefulness and great feeling. All because I knew daddy was listening. Oh, friend, how much more important are the life choices you are making? Do you live out your confession of faith in Christ with carefulness and great feeling? If we knew – I mean really knew – that the Lord of the universe was near with cupped ear and listening, would it change what you say and do? Sure, it would. So, remember what Psalm 69:33 says, “The Lord hears the needy.” It means that God is listening. May that not inspire fear in you, but great joy. After all, God hears you!
