Be careful... Listen to God and to the truth

Be careful.

Should we only listen to God when we like what He says?

Should we only listen to God when it is convenient?

Should we only listen to God when we want?

Should we only listen to God when He says what we want to hear?

Be careful.

Isn't this what we do?

We seem to only listen when we want.

What God says is truth. Why aren't we listening? Really listening?

And when someone that walks with you, and beside you, and tries to listen to God and obey His Word (keep His mitzvot), shouldn't we fully listen to what they say? To take some time and let their words roll around? To pray about what they say? Even when we disagree? Even when we do not want to hear it? To make sure to ask God about the words? To get out of the emotion and really listen to the words and what they said? 

Because God can speak through people. Are we listening?

Shouldn't we be honest with ourselves and compare what they say to the Word of God?

We need to be careful. God speaks to us directly and He uses His Word, people, where we worship, and circumstances.

Let us listen to the truth. Even when we do not want to do so. And then do what Adonai says, even if we do not like it.

Let us be careful to do as He says, when He says it, how He says it. Let us listen.
