Obey the Voice of the Lord!
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who obey the voice of the Lord. In Jesus’ name, amen.
During his so-called Farewell Address, Samuel warns the people of Israel against disobedience.
In 1 Samuel 12:15-18 (ESV) we see God’s power on display.
“‘But if you will not obey the voice of the Lord, but rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then the hand of the Lord will be against you and your king. Now therefore stand still and see this great thing that the Lord will do before your eyes. Is it not wheat harvest today? I will call upon the Lord, that he may send thunder and rain. And you shall know and see that your wickedness is great, which you have done in the sight of the Lord, in asking for yourselves a king.’ So Samuel called upon the Lord, and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day, and all the people greatly feared the Lord and Samuel.”
The people of Israel were told to obey the Lord or else.
Today, believers need to listen to and obey the voice of the Lord.
