Hosea 4:6 (NKJV) 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…
The truth is that there are times when we can destroy God’s good intentions for us by not listening to Him. We suffer, and others around us may suffer for us not listening.
God’s Word brings knowledge. It brings clarification, healing, deliverance and victory to any given situation. He speaks to us at different times and in different ways.
Sometimes God may want to use a person to speak through, at a particular moment or time in our life. If we shut them out of our life, for whatever reasons, we may be shutting out God’s way of reaching us at that particular time, for that particular reason.
None of us are perfect in hearing or knowing God’s voice, and it takes time and we will make mistakes trying. God knows this and He works with us as we continue to try to do what’s right. But there are those times when we are just being stubborn. We know what He wants from us and we ignore or run from Him or from anyone He may be using.
The book of Jonah shares about how Jonah was a man that ran from what God wanted him to do. He didn’t want to listen to God and the plan that God had for him.
Jonah ended up going through some unnecessary circumstances in his life until he decided to do what God was asking him to do.
Some of us today are going through some unnecessary things in our lives simply because we don’t want to listen to or do what God is saying.
We need to stop blaming our circumstances, our hurt, our losses and our errors on everyone and everything else, and let Him help by speaking to us from His Word and through others that He has sent to help bring clarity to our situation. Amen.
