WHO SAYS?

Remember the old children's game "SIMON SAYS?"  Whatever SIMON said, you were to do!  If the name SIMON was not said, you weren't to do it.  If you did, you were eliminated from the game.  The game required listening skills and following directions.

I prefer the game "JESUS SAYS."  Yes, He does speak to us; and He prefers we LISTEN to His voice and FOLLOW His instructions.  However, most people either don't know His voice or pay attention to what He has to say.  Many people want to be "the leader" and do things their own way!  

Jesus refused to "play" satan's game.  He would only LISTEN for His Father's voice--and follow His instructions!  When Jesus was being tempted by satan in the wilderness, He would counter each attack by saying "It is written"....and He would quote from The Law (the Bible of that day).

• Whose voice are you listening to...what instruction book are you following?
• If He called out to you today to follow Him, would you recognize His voice?
• Would you follow His handbook (The Bible)?

LISTEN carefully....do you hear Him?  He's speaking to you.  I pray that you have "ears to hear and eyes to see" Him.

[Please read Matthew 13:15-17]
