I've Told You and Told You

“For whatever things were written aforetime were written for our learning.” Romans 15:4

“How many times to have to tell you!” the exasperated parent laments. “I’ve told you a thousand time!” Then kindlier and with less frustration. “Please listen and think before you do this again.” Wow, this must be just about everybody’s home. We speak to walls, we speak to rocks, we speak to empty air and all the while we think we are speaking to our children. Just think how God feels. That’s right. Just like a parent. He is, after all, our Father.

Year after year, century after century, God sent His prophets to the children of Israel. A few paid attention, but most did not. That is the clear record of Scripture. Now God is telling His church to pay attention. He tells His church that what has been written by the prophets of old, are still important for them to read and know. God has not changed nor have his expectations. We must not neglect to know His word.

Dear Father, Stir us by Your Spirit to listen and obey your voice. Amen.
