"Hey, I can hear you!"

The other day, Susan and I were eating out and some guys at a nearby table were talking about some of their experiences with women. They were getting louder and louder, and it seemed like they were trying to one-up each other with who could say the most inappropriate thing. After a while, Susan whispered to me, “I feel like turning around and telling them, ‘Hey! I can hear you!’”

I wonder if that’s how God feels sometimes. We know that God always sees and hears us. But so often we act like He’s nowhere near. Does He ever feel like saying “Hey! I can hear you!”
