LISTEN TO GOD
Ex.
16:19,20 Then Moses told them, "Do
not keep any of it overnight." But,
of course, some of them didn't listen and kept some of it until morning. By then it was full of maggots and had a
terrible smell. And Moses was very angry
with them. NLT
The Israelites had complained about water
they had found that was undrinkable and God healed it so they could drink. They ran out of water and complained and the
Lord provided water from a rock. They
complained about a lack of food and God provided quails and manna. He told them how they were to treat it, not
leaving any of it overnight, but of course, some did not listen. They were notorious complainers instead of
humble followers of God.
It never fails. When we don't listen to God, unnecessary and
bad things happen. God has good reasons
for what He says and we would be wise to not try the patience of God and ignore
what He says. We create our own problems
when we ignore God. One of life's most important
lessons is to simply learn to listen to God.
If things aren't going so well for you and
you know that you have failed to listen to God, confess to the Lord what you
have done and repent of it. You will not
be content with life and know His peace until you do. God knows best always what should be done and
the sooner you listen to Him the better off you will be.
