Do not ignore HIS warnings
God will warn us when we are entering a dangerous situation. God will warn us of danger in our lives.
God’s warnings come in various forms: a challenging word from a friend; a story from a pastor’s sermon; a still, small voice inside letting you know it’s not right; and the unavoidable truth of God’s Word.
We have a choice to listen to God’s warning or to ignore the warning.
God’s warnings are for our good and protection. Despite this we always ignore Him. What are some reasons we might choose to ignore God’s warning?
First, we might be set on our own agenda. We have a plan and we are sticking with it, even if it is not necessarily God’s plan.
Second, the situation might appear to be good. In our own understanding we cannot possibly see how anything bad could result.
Third, we might just want to do what we want to do, not what God wants us to do, especially if deep down inside we know what we are doing is sinful.
Is God warning you of a danger in your life? Are you listening? Let us listen to God’s warnings. Let us trust Him and not ourselves.
Proverbs 3 : 5 - 6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take
