Stop Look Listen

Stop   Look    Listen
                   (Based on Isaih 30: 18-21)
                      

          Are you going through adversity
      Struggling about money, love, family, addiction
 The Bible says the Lord may give us the bread of adversity
             and the water of affliction
       If He really loves us why would he allow this
            It seems such a contradiction
Yet Isaiah 30 says , In those times listen carefully with your ears
     The voice of your Teacher, “ This is the way, walk in it”
             I will show you mercy, do not fear
     Throw away your idols and gold plated images
             Selfishness, money, prestige, fame
                 Even if you did nothing wrong
                     He will heal your pain
      God hears your cry and wants to be gracious to you
 So stop, look, and listen for your Teacher all your life through
