Genesis 3:9 But the Lord God called to the man, ‘Where are you?’

No matter what you have done in your life, God is going to call out to you!

We learn from the world how we don’t get rewards when we have been bad... but things don’t work like that with God.

He may not give you rewards or treasures, but he is going to call out to you to see if you will listen... then things start to change!

1 Samuel 8:3 But his sons did not follow his ways. They turned aside after dishonest gain and accepted bribes and perverted justice.

What happens when you stop listening to God? The world gets louder, and you start listening to the world!

God continues to try and guide us through the Holy Spirit and by His Word. If we can’t be bothered to read and listen, we are not going to learn!

Stop for a minute and try listening out for God – maybe He is trying to tell you something but can’t get through because of the noise!

Luke 9:3 He told them: ‘Take nothing for the journey – no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra shirt.

God wants us to be fully committed to following Him, not half cocked and willing to give up and try something else instead!

When He asks us to do something, it is because that is the best thing we can do – not just because He wants to test you or your resolve!

Don’t give in to the temptation to follow the easy worldly path – the rough and winding God path is what you need to follow!
