It’s important that we think twice before ignoring the Holy Spirit’s warnings to us.
We all hear them from time to time when we’re being tempted by Satan.
We’re at the fork in the road, with the narrow, twisting path of holiness heading one direction and the seemingly smooth and straight superhighway of sinfulness heading the other.
Unfortunately, we all know what it’s like to have taken the wrong turn.
What seemed best to the flesh turned out to be the opposite.
This is what we must remember no many how many days we have in life.
For how we listen to the divine Navigator is a reflection of our relationship with the divine Ruler of the universe.
Jesus put is this way in John 8:47…
“Anyone who belongs to God listens gladly to the words of God. But you don’t listen because you don’t belong to God.”
When God’s voice via the Holy Spirit seeks to guide us away from temptation, let’s make sure to listen.
For if we don’t, what are we saying about our relationship with God?
And that’s a very dangerous place to be in view of how our lives could end at any time.
Jesus asked in Luke 6:46, “Why do you call me ‘Lord’ and not do what I say?”
Let’s make sure that our words and our walk line up when we’re at home or work or school or church… or even on the highway.
Listening to God’s voice is what godly people do.
As always, I love you
Martin
