Whether they listen or not.....

"Moreover, He said to me, 'Son of man, take into your heart all My words which I will speak to you and listen closely. Go to the exiles, to the sons of your people, and speak to them, whether they listen or not, Thus says the Lord GOD.'"  Ezekiel 3:10-11

Some days our work in Zambia feels very much like this---'whether they listen or not---listen to my words; take them into your heart and then speak them', says the Lord God.  Although we are far from perfect, that is what we strive to do. Some days it's easier than others. He has chosen to place us here for His work now--we don't have the luxury of waiting.  Whether we are speaking to students in class, the garden, at Bible study, or anywhere in between, we will speak His truths. When He brings a neighbor to our door, we will speak His truths. When stopped walking down the road by someone in need, we will speak His truths.

God's word is filled with example after example of people who obeyed God, but there are also many, many examples of those who said no to Him. We choose to say yes, and to follow wherever He leads. Thank you to all our prayer warriors who daily lift us up to the Father asking for us to have strength to press on and His protection to carry on. We pray for you, also.

How about you? Will you choose Christ today? Even if it doesn't make sense and no one listens, will you speak His truths? We're praying for you to say yes.
