This subject, "Don't Ignore the Warning Signs", is one that I can't stop thinking about. Right now I am reading the book of 2 Kings and it amazes me how many warning signs God sent Israel before they were finally taken into exile. For almost 300 years Israel had sinned against the Lord, yet God continued to look out for them by sending them warning signs of what would happen if they didn't turn from their evil ways. In all God sent 18 prophets, all with a different message in hopes of persuading Israel to start obeying God again. Reading this chapter has made me think about two things. One being,"What a mighty God we serve" It feels so good to know that we serve a God who is willing and able to guide us along the way, and give us warning signs when we steer away from his path. My favorite bible verse, Jeremiah 29:11 states, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." I love this verse because it is a reminder of what we can receive if we follow God. However it is also a warning that of what will happen if we steer away from him. Unlike Israel we must not ignore the warning signs. We should constantly be listening for the Lord's voice to make sure that are lives are aligned with his will. Be Blessed!
Jeremiah 7:23-"but I gave them this command: Obey me, and I will be your God and you will be my people. Walk in all the ways I command you, that it may go well with you".
