The Pharisee probably never even realized God was listening to every word he said but figured people were listening.

A man had a habit of grumbling at the food his wife placed before him at family meals. Then he would ask the blessing.

One day after his usual combination complaint-prayer, his little girl asked, "Daddy, does God hear us when we pray?"

"Why, of course," he replied. "He hears us every time we pray."

She pauses on this a moment, and asked, "Does he hear everything we say the rest of the time?"

"Yes, dear, every word," he replied, encouraged that he had inspired his daughter to be curious about spiritual matters.

However, his pride was quickly turned to humility...

"Then which does God believe?"

“Then which does God believe?”

Ha, ha, so much truth to that.

It is strange how we can accidently stumble on to the fact that what we claim to believe is actually the truth.
