Pay attention!

Isaiah 48: 18

If only you had paid attention to my commands…

 

“If only”…two very small words, but that have drastic, even tragic consequences.

What they really mean, is that things probably would be a whole lot  different, if we did things differently.

 

God’s people could have avoided so much pain and heart ache, if they had did things His way.

I think every one of us reading this, can surely relate.

 

Everyone has regrets—sometimes enormous ones.

That’s just the way it is, as we live and flourish in a fallen world.

 

Did you ever wonder what it might have been, if we had listened to God in the first place?

Sooner or later, we all come to the realization, that life could have been better than it is.

 

The act of rebellion, might lead to the reason that we’re…in debt—why we lost our job—why our family might be screwed up..etc., etc.

If only I had done this or that or the other thing…

 

That’s the wonderful thing about amazing grace.

It never puts us in a position, where God can’t redeem our past mistakes.

 

We can follow Him, and trust that His ways, lead to a life of no regrets…
