Today, as we sat together in Discovery Bible Study, something became very clear.
This was not a silent room. People spoke. Observations were shared. Scriptures were read slowly.

And one question kept surfacing—not as theory, but as confession:

Why do we struggle to obey God, even when we know what He wants and we have heard Him clearly?

Jesus ends the Sermon on the Mount with builders.
Jesus explains the kingdom with soils.

In both cases, the failure is not hearing.
The failure is what happens after hearing.

(Luke 8:12 – the word is stolen before it settles)

There are moments when God speaks plainly, and we respond with delay disguised as wisdom.

A person hears God say, “Leave this relationship.”
Instead of obedience, they begin analysis:

• “Let me pray about it more”
• “Let me see if things change”
• “Let me wait for confirmation”

What started as clarity becomes complexity.
