Wisdom to Change
Listen carefully to Me Isaiah 55:2a
God will take all kinds of measures to get our attention to cause our faith to grow. What will it take for God to get your attention? God will get our attention with a restless spirit. You start to experience something deep within you can’t quite identify or explain. So, you ask the Lord are you trying to say something to me.
Sometimes God will get our attention by using others to speak to us. They might say something that causes you to think and then the light comes on. Have you experienced this? If so go to God and say Lord, what I heard really got me to thinking. Is there something that I must do?
Another way God will get our attention is through disappointment. Oh, no you got to be kidding me. Will God really use disappointment to get my attention? Yes He will. When Israel refused to take God’s instructions to possess the Promised Land, He judged them for unbelief. They quickly changed their minds but God said it was too late. Don’t let it be too late for you when God tells you to do something and you don’t move on it then you change your mind and say ok Lord. Hey, it’s too late. Don’t let this happen to you, hear, obey and do it quickly.
Maybe God may use financial trouble to get our attention. I know this is happening as we speak. God knows exactly what it will take to get our attention and if you are not a tither and a giver, what you are experiencing in your finances is just rewards. According to God’s system, if you don’t give the tithes how do you expect Him to bless you. Don’t try and fight me on this. If you don’t work for the company BBJ, how can you ask where is my paycheck. You can’t because you are not a employee on the payroll. God is the same way. How can He multiply you financially when you hold on to everything so tightly and never give according to what He says in the Word?
In closing, God knows exactly where we are in our journey of faith. He also knows what it will take to get our attention. The best thing we can do is stay alert and pay attention to things occurring or recurring in our lives. If they are, ask Him, want He wants to tell you and then listen, not just to hear what He is saying, but to obey.
Have a Beautiful Day
