LISTEN TO GOD


Good morning this great day!


I hope you didn't have too many storms where you live last night. The last couple of days have been very scary in some places. I talked to my Dad in Arkansas after the tornadoes in Oklahoma. He said they were coming their way when he talked to my husband. So, I called my Dad to check on him a while later and they were 20 miles from home in a restaurant eating dinner. 

And then during the night, the tornado siren went on and they heard about it the next morning. They didn't even hear the siren. They do have a tornado shelter in their garage but if they don't hear the siren what good does it do. We just need to pray for peace and comfort for everyone affected by tornadoes.

So, when we feel God somehow warning us to go a different way or do this or don't do that, if we don't hear Him and don't heed the warning, what good does it do. We may end up causing danger to ourselves or someone else.

and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you.”
Exodus 15:26

that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.”
Deuteronomy 30:20

For He is our God, And we are the people 
of His pasture, And the sheep of His 
hand. Today, if you will hear His voice:
Psalm 95:7

We need to listen for God's voice in His Word, through people, in the still places of our heart. He does speak to us in many ways. But we have to listen. We need to open our ears and our hearts to hear. We need to slow down and stop and be quiet so God can speak to us. And then when He does, we need to listen, and then we need to do what He says. It could be a warning of some kind. It can be a word of encouragement. Whatever it is, we need to listen. And God can speak loud if He wants, but He can also speak to us in a still, small voice as He did to Elijah in 1 Kings chapter 19. 

Oh, let us do our best to love God enough to listen because He loves us enough to have sent His one and only Son to die on a cross for us a long time ago. 

Let's listen to Him!

Have a blessed day!
