So, as the Holy Spirit
says: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in
the rebellion, during the time of testing in the wilderness
We have a lot of things vying for our attention in this
life. Between work, families, phones, the internet, TV, and radio, we are being
blasted daily with different messages and directions. At times it can seem
maddening, like we are enveloped in constant chaos and we are just working to
stay above water. One of the voices in our lives is the one voice that we
should pay most attention to. One voice is the voice that we should actually
seek out and soak in every speck of its wisdom. One voice is one that we should
never grow tired of hearing. Through the Holy Spirit, we have a direct line to the
Living God. Through the Holy Spirit, we have an open line of communication with
God…and God uses that line to impact our lives. When we are going astray and
walking a sinful path, God speaks discipline, instruction, and correction into
our lives. When we are scraping the bottom of the barrel, God speaks
encouragement, confidence, and hope into our world. When we are on top of the world
and things are going well, God reminds us to be humble, grateful, and charitable
in our lives. Whatever the circumstances, God is active in our lives…God is
relaying a message to us daily. It should be our goal and privilege to always
be receptive to his message…to always be willing to hear his message, even when
it’s something we may not necessarily want to hear. We should be careful not to
harden our hearts towards the Lord, for everything that is handed down from the
Lord is without a doubt for our own good. May we welcome his voice with each
new day and follow where he leads us. To God alone be the glory!
