Heb 5:12-14  For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child. But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.

The opposite of dull is sharp; Heb 4:12  For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword. To have “dullness of hearing” does not mean that we have something wrong with our ears, but there is something wrong with our heart. The word is not a driving passion in our life, we hear it like we hear the warnings at the airports, we hear but not really. Sometimes it goes on without us even knowing that it was there.  The sound does not produce anything in us. May we become sharp in our hearing, so that we will have powers of discernment by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.
