Short blog today...
In Sunday's sermon we were reminded of the error of King Saul, who rebelled against God through his indifference to the counsel of the prophet Samuel:
Samuel: What is all that noise?
Saul: Oh, just some stuff I'm gonna sacrifice to God.
Samuel: But God said destroy everything.
When God speaks, whether directly to us or through a prophet, what do we do?
We listen; and we obey. My prayer is that you will hear and follow the word of the LORD, even if it means you get a little hate mail from those who are not in line with the logos and rhema word of God.
Has God given you instructions through His servants? Are you listening, or are you on the brink of making unauthorized sacrifices (First Samuel 13)? Be very sure that the counsel of God is the thing that captures your heart- nothing else, no one else, can ever take a front row seat- God is in charge.
God has given a word to His prophets. And He has given us a choice: follow the plan and program of God set forth through His prophets, or just go off and do your own thing, knowing that there is no reward for disobedience- in fact, judgement waits at your door. The choice is yours.
