Bible Reading: Isaiah 30:30
It seems odd that anyone would be unable to hear God's voice. It also seems odd that there would be anyone anywhere that wouldn't want to hear God's voice. But, it's true.
Many people have lives filled with sin. As a result, they are unable to hear God's voice.
Many other people choose to ignore God's warnings, messages, and advice. They prefer to live life their own way.
This is so sad. People who have rejected God and refused to listen to His voice are giving up so many wonderful blessings, both in this life and in eternity. Right now, God is allowing each and every one of us to choose whether or not to listen to His voice.
Today's Bible verse says, "The Lord will cause men to hear his majestic voice and will make them see his arm coming down with raging anger and consuming fire, with cloudburst, thunderstorm and hail." Someday, everyone will hear God. God will stop giving them a choice. Everyone will be forced to acknowledged that Jesus is Lord and God is our Father.
I hope you choose to listen to God now so you can receive His blessing. Your life will be so much richer, now and in eternity if you choose to hear God now rather than being forced to hear Him later.
"Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts." Hebrews 4:7b
Prayer: Heavenly Father, help me to always be willing to listen to Your voice. In Jesus' name. Amen."
