Listening to God
In reading 2 Chronicles 18, I was struck by how Ahab refused to listen to the voice of God because he was so set on doing what he wanted to do instead of what God wanted him to do. And as a result, he lost his life.
We are prone to do the very same thing. It's so easy to get caught up in all our own plans that we either fail to seek God's guidance or we refuse to follow it even when God makes it very plain to us. And even though it might not cost us our physical life, at least not as quickly as it do for Ahab, it does rob us of the joy of living according to God's plans.
So I'm praying for myself, and for all of you, that we would be attentive to God's voice and that we would heed what we hear.
