Thursday... There is so much, if we would just listen.

Isaiah 28:12a (NLT), "God has told his people, 'Here is a place of rest; let the weary rest here. This is a place of quiet rest.'"

Thursday... There is so much, if we would just listen.

There really is. But we think we are so smart and we know what is best.

The Prophet Isaiah over in 28:12a (NLT) says something important that we need to stop and listen to. He says, "God has told his people, 'Here is a place of rest; let the weary rest here. This is a place of quiet rest.'" But he goes on. He says all of that and then at the end of this verse he says, "But they would not listen."

Right before this Isaiah writes in verses 9-10, "'Who does the LORD think we are?' they ask. 'Why does he speak to us like this? Are we little children, just recently weaned? He tells us everything over and over - one line at a time, one line at a time, a little here, and a little here and a little there!'" Again 12b, "But they would not listen."

Isaiah continues in verse 13, "So the LORD will spell out his message for them again, one line at a time, one line at a time, a little here, a little there, so that they will stumble and fall. They will be injured, trapped and fall, and captured."

Then down to verses 23-25a, "Listen to me; listen and pay attention. 'Does a farmer always plow and never sow? Is he forever cultivating the soil and never planting? Does he finally plant his seeds?"

Verse 26 says, "The farmer knows just what to do, for God has given him understanding." And verse 29, "The LORD of Heaven's Armies is a wonderful teacher, And he gives the farmer great wisdom."

Yes, there is so much for us if we will just listen to the LORD and do what he says. Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning
