Solemn Warning

Jeremiah 11:7 For I solemnly warned your fathers in the day that I brought them up from the land of Egypt, even to this day, warning persistently, saying, “Listen to My voice.”

God set this group of people – the children of Israel – free from slavery.  He led them through the wilderness and provided food and drink and provision through obstacles along the way.  He told them continually to trust him, and to listen to his voice through his servant leader, Moses.

We know that this group of people repeatedly questioned, grumbled and shook their fist – even at times wishing they were back in slavery.

It’s a solemn word, our Father speaks to us, even today.

“Listen to My voice,” he says, ever so gently but ever so seriously.

If we fail to listen to his voice through his word, through those who love his word, and through his Spirit that lives within us, we might stay a little too long out in the wilderness and miss out on all the milk and honey in the promised land.


Good things come to those who listen and obey.
