Banana In Your Ear?

Reading Oswald Chambers this morning I was reminded of a phrase I remembering hearing as a child..."what's the matter you can't hear me, do you have a banana in your ear?  That's the problem all to often in our relationship with God, we have a banana in our ear.
Chambers said it this way..."God Did not address the call to Isaiah; Isaiah overheard God saying,  "Who will go for us?" The call of God is not for the special few it's for everyone. Whether or not I hear God's call depends upon the state of my ears and what I hear depends upon my disposition." 
Let's be sure we are listening as much as we are talking to God, otherwise we might miss a great opportunity to accomplish a task for His glory.
