Devotion:
One of the things which has always fascinated me about the stories from the bible is how people would continually ignore warnings! But when you are on the other side of the fence and you have multiple warnings about your life or your health, you may ignore them thinking it could never happen to you!
We live in a world where all manner of things go wrong because of what people do to each other.
Only recently we have had a global disruption to all manner of IT infrastructure because of the mistakes made by someone and the ignorance of others who refuse to accept responsibility. We have world leaders who refuse to accept what they are doing is wrong and so the rest of us suffer!
God does not turn a deaf ear or blind eye to these things and will give people warnings before catastrophe happens on way or another. More likely caused by people because they ignore the warnings!
Go loves us and will bend over backward for us… but if we continue to ignore Him we have no way of knowing where He wants us to be so we are not affected by the global disruptions and goings on! Listen and learn from God alone!
Points to Ponder:
Do you continue to ignore people?
Do you continue to ignore God too?
