Listening and hearing may be both sensed through our ears but beyond that listening is very different to hearing. What is the difference between Listening and Hearing?
#LISTENING VS HEARING TRIAL#
In the field of Law, hearing means ” an act of listening to evidence in a court of law or before an official, especially a trial before a judge without a jury.” We simply sense that our environment is noisy, but we do not know the cause behind the noise, which is hearing. However, hearing is just receiving the sounds from the ear, most often we do not process the sounds. When we are born, it will take about a month’s time before we can hear an assortment of sounds. Hearing is an inborn trait of any individual. Also, listen in is one phrasal verb of the verb listen.
Now, this verb listen has its origin in the Old English word hlysnan. As mentioned earlier, listening comes from the verb listen. In order to understand what the other person is talking about, we must listen to him or her. Most memories are inculcated into our brain due to the reason that we listen carefully to every sound, words, and music that we hear. Listening requires your brain to work out every bit of sounds to form words or sentences that you can understand. Listening is the processing of sounds to understand the meaning behind it. Hearing does not need our intention, but to listen we need to have an intention of hearing the sounds. The main difference between listening and hearing can be put in this way. Hearing comes from the word hear while listening is created from the word listen. It is the most effective communication between each other, hearing is already a capability we are born with, except if you are deaf or mute or when you are a hearing-impaired individual. Listening and hearing are both kinds of sense that are processed by the brain through the ear. Web.Since hearing and listening seem to be very closely related, it is important to understand the difference between listening and hearing. Hear from Him in the quiet place before you take it to the streets.Īnd you give what you’ve got until you’re done. If you listen to what He tells you in the darkness, then speak it in the light and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops. This is why it is important to meet with God in the quiet place of His presence and listen for His still small voice. We must stay connected to the vine, because it is the vine that produces the power not the branches. But we must remember that apart from Him we can do nothing. A 30 fold mentalities never excel to 100 fold opportunities. Another man got 60 because that is what he heard and responded to. The man got 30 fold because that is what he heard and responded to. Mark 4:24 says, “The way ‘you’ hear it, the way ‘you’ measure and respond to it is the measure that it works in your life. The Word of God responds to my measuring device. Listening requires concentration and action. Listening, however, is something you consciously choose to do. If you are not hearing-impaired, hearing simply happens. Hearing is simply the act of perceiving sound by the ear. In contrast, listening is the interpretative action taken by the listener. The distinction between listening and hearing is-Hearing is always occurring, most of the time subconsciously and in the case of hearing the indwelling fragment of God it always occurs in the superconsciousness. Thirdly, have an open ear to hear what God is saying to you and really listen to Him. Secondly, you must have a servant type attitude. Then the Lord came and stood and called as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel said, “Speak, for Your servant is listening.” (1 Samuel 3 9-10)įirst, for someone to speak with you -you must be in a relationship. I desire to be more like Samuel… And Eli said to Samuel, “Go lie down, and it shall be if He calls you, that you shall say, ‘Speak, Lord, for Your servant is listening.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
Some days, we can go through our morning devotions in rote-fashion without really listening to what God wants us to hear from Him. I wondered, how well do I listen to God or do I just merely hear Him as blah, blah, blah, blah? Recently, while listening to a sermon from chapter three of 1 Samuel, the favored story of Samuel hearing the call of God, it struck me that there is a difference between hearing God and listening to God.
