"Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts." Hebrews 4:7b
This verse spoke to me the moment I laid my eyes on it. There have been many, many times when I hardened my heart to God because I wanted this or that. I didn't want to listen to what God wanted. Only me. I learned it made me feel worse about what I was doing, not any better. I had no pleasure in the things He told me no to. I began to feel farther away from God. As if He was in the other room and wouldn't let me in. But the whole time it was me who locked God out and made Him distant by disobeying Him.
God wants us to soften our hearts when He speaks to us. Not harden our hearts and not listen. By doing that, we can start seeing the wonders He wants to show us. And eventually He will reveal to us why He lead us to this certain path. God doesn't take you where He can't protect you. Let Him guide you with His gentle voice and you will sure be glad you listened!
