God is speaking ,Are we listening!

Zechariah 7:9 'Thus speaketh the Lord of host saying,Execute true judgment,and shew mercy and compassion every man to his brother":

Saints as I look at all the things taking place in this country with the political situation as it is. I can't  help but wonder, are we truly a christian nation.Are the actions taking place around the country truly Christ like.Are we listening to God?Is this the kind of world he has told us to build. Judgment is not fair, the widows, elderly and children are exploited, we still tend to favor those that have, over those that have not, and where is the compassion one to another.There is no mercy, what if God had no mercy on us. Saints God is speaking to us, but are we listening.God always speaks to us,through His word and His spirit,which leads us into all truth.Some of us are directed by dreams, promptings,     sermons,scriptures and even the advise from Godly leaders.There are many ways God can speak to us, but no matter the method, His message will always be in line with His word and confirmed by His spirit.

But much like the ignore button on our cell phone that we use when it is inconvient, we sometimes ignore God speaking in our lives, because it is inconvient.When he calls us to get up a little early to spend more time with him, the snooze button causes us to ignore Him.When he tells us to stop by and visit with a person,or tells us to give to someone, or to let go of something, or to just do what is right when it is to our disadvantage, we seem to be too tired,too hurt, too angry or too something to listen to his instructions for us.

But saints God never calls us at a bad time; His word says the day you hear his voice harden not your heart.Today,right now, this moment is the time to listen and obey.What a priviledge it is to be able to hear from our God,to have him guiding us into what is best for our lives:Protecting us,providing for us,encouraging us, teaching us, and preparing us for eternal life with Him. But now to truly listen to him, includes active obedience.How about us, does our listening include active obedience to what God has been saying to us?"Go ye into all the world,and preach the Gospel to every creature".Saints there is only one hope for this world and all mankind,and that hope is Jesus; and those of us who have received Him, have been told by God to share Him with all the earth.Let us now walk worthy of the name which we bear in obedience to God's word, that the world may experience the goodness of the Lord.
