Take The Time To Listen
Spend time listening to God if you wish to speak to people in His name!
We like speaking into people’s lives, but we must be careful to be God’s servant when we do so. We want to be thought of as wise, as having a word in season. We want to be the one to encourage or challenge someone. But, what is God doing in their lives? What does He want to say? That’s crucial.
These prophets were bringing a message of encouragement to God’s people. Perhaps they thought that’s what God wanted to communicate, but they never spent time with God to be led by Him or get His message. What God wanted to do was warn His people. But, that warning was never delivered. If it had been delivered, the people would have repented.
Because the prophets didn’t take time to listen to God, both they and the people would face God’s judgement.
God wants you to spend time with Him by just reading His Word and listening to Him. Then you can minister to others in the way He wants you to.

Sobre este plano
In a world that’s constantly shouting at us, sometimes it’s easy to forget to make space to listen, to listen to what is happening around you, to listen to what others are saying, to listen to the wind and the silence, or to listen to what God is saying. As you go through this week’s readings, our prayer is that you’ll start to explore what it means to listen well.
