Time After Time

We often find God’s Word speaking to the real-life situations of the lives of God’s people. Prophets said ‘Thus saith the Lord’ over and over again over the years. This was done in order to redirect the direction of the people and its leadership. God rebuked them to humble them and restored them after their deliverance, all usually tghrough the words of the manof God as His mouthpiece.
We tend to no longer offer a listening ear to prophetic preaching and teaching. If it’s not from a pastoral pulpit, some just won’t hear of it. Would they have harkened to the voice in the wilderness in the form of John the Baptist? Would Jeremiah have been able to get a word in among these preachers? I wonder if we’ve just closed our eyes and ears to God’s way of reaching us. Yet, it’s been proven time and time again that God will make it known when God has finally had enough. No matter what people may do to shut out God’s way, He will reveal through His confrontative and confirmed Word. He’ll reach us with the wor that He needs to speak into our lives, time after time.
