What does it mean to have a hearing heart? In this message Annette Capps explores the Hebrew word shama — to listen, give heed, and pay full attention — through Solomon's request in 1 Kings 3:9 for an understanding mind and a hearing heart. Rather than asking for wealth or victory over his enemies, Solomon asked to hear. The result was an intelligence so vast Scripture describes it as wide as the sand on the seashore.
Annette unpacks what that kind of listening looks like today: tuning the ear to the Word of God and the voice of the Holy Spirit, staying aware that wisdom is crying out everywhere, in Scripture, in nature, and through unexpected sources. Drawing from Proverbs 1:20-23, 1 Kings 4:29, and Mark 4:24, she challenges believers to stop limiting what they receive by the smallness of their capacity and ask God to enlarge it because the problem is never the supply. It is always the measure we bring.
