Do you realise that God went completely silent on Saul when he rebelled against Him?
Do you realise
that even when he killed a whole city of priests no rebuke was sent his way?
That even when
he became so desperate to hear that voice God even then refused to speak to the
point that he visited a familiar spiritual medium?
His life is one
that demonstrates a great hunger to hear from God and failing to do so. And there
are very many instances of that from his story.
I have said
enough times that God is not like a radio or TV that is always speaking so that
anybody who is listening, even passively, gets the message.
God speaks only
to the ear that not only is listening to Him, but is ready to do what He says.
For all those
things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but
to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and
trembleth at my word. (Isaiah 66:2)
He will never
allow someone with such an attitude to fail to hear. He will never allow
someone ready to obey to misinterpret His voice.
Has God ordered
you to do or not do something?
How has been
your response?
That determines
whether He will continue to speak or go completely silent on you.
Therefore
whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto
a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the
floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for
it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine,
and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house
upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew,
and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. (Matthew 7: 24 – 27)
What does the
Bible say about the way you are living your life?
Are you
trembling with obedience or are you, like Saul, looking for clearer orders?
I have just felt
the urgency to share this message now.
What you do with
it is up to you
