Gospel Reflections #323: God is the One who always has our best interests in mind.

II Chronicles 24:19 "The prophets were sent one after another to turn them back to the Lord. But when they were admonished, they turned a deaf ear."

God did not tell us that we can only walk with Him when we are in the right path.

God respects our freedom of choice at all times and even we go astray He stays close.

Whenever we get lost or wander off the path that leads us away from God, God is always there to help us. God uses people and events to help us realize that we are lost.

We sometimes fail to understand God's work and end up running away from Him, resisting, or rejecting Him.

This is because we do not know well who God is to us, and because we see God in our own selfish image of God, so we do not understand God's work.

God is the One who can foresee our past and future, and He is without error. God never punishes us or burdens us because we don't do what He says. God is the One who always has our best interests in mind.

When our hearts catch God's voice, even if we don't know what it is, we should stop, look up to God, and listen to His voice.

Even if we don't understand God's will, we should say, "I received God's voice in this way. If I am wrong, please tell me.If we are wrong, please tell me.

God will surely lead us to understand.

If we put God off or make excuses and refuse to listen to Him because we don't understand His voice, we will gradually lose the ability to discern His voice and the noise of the world will become more and more pleasant.

God will never abandon you or give up on you.

So when God calls to you, stop and face Him.

The rumbling in your heart may be a sign that God is calling to you.
