I have had a bad day. It was my fault. I did something really stupid yesterday and it cost me a lot of money. I know better. The signs were all there. But I got duped.
The thing is the Lord warned me. There was a check in my spirit, which essentially I ignored. 1 Thessalonians 5:19 tells us not to quench the Spirit. I think that is exactly what I did. Isaiah 30:21 tells us that the Lord will direct by telling us which way to turn. He did, I didn’t. Costly lesson.
It takes a while to get to know His voice. Just like it takes a while to get to know the voice of our loved ones. But, when we hear them we know them. Jesus said that we will know His voice, John 10:27.
It seems to me that when we hear and do not respond, like I did yesterday, that is quenching God’s Spirit.
Stupid. Costly.

Sorry to hear you missed it. Glad you are humble to admit and learn.
ReplyDeleteI recall time when I knew God spoke, yet for a long time was willingly disobedient. Fortunately, God was faithful to wait until I repented and, only by His grace, obeyed. Else my life would be a mess: I would be married an unbelieving girl and learning to obey a harder way.
That would have been a much more costly lesson
