Read Nehemiah 9:30-31 – Yet for many years You had patience with them, and testified against them by Your Spirit in Your prophets. Yet they would not listen; Therefore You gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands. Nevertheless in Your great mercy You did not utterly consume them nor forsake them; for You are God, gracious and merciful. (NKJV)
Are you listening? As Nehemiah prays he mentions that God had sent prophets to the people to warn them to turn away from their sin. However, the people did not listen to God’s Word nor to the message the prophets brought to them. We need to learn to be better listeners to what God is saying to us. We could probably avoid a lot of heartache if we would listen. When you pray, are you taking time to listen to what God might be saying to you by His Spirit? Take time to listen for the voice of God.
