Responding To The Voice of God

b'When I drive my car, many times I set out and have the odd feeling that something is not right. I check to make sure I\'ve got my phone. Then I check for my wallet. The phone and the wallet are there, but there\'s something not quite right. It usually only takes a couple of blocks until one of my kids yells out, "Dad! Put your seat belt on." Oh yeah. That\'s what was missing. I had the nagging feeling that something wasn\'t right. I just didn\'t know what it was. Have you ever had that feeling? I\'m not talking about little things, like a seat belt, but big things. Like something in your life is missing. For 15 years, I think that the remnant of the Israelites had that feeling. Last week we saw that it took a word from the prophet Haggai to wake them up. "The temple," Haggai said. "You\'re missing the temple!" That message was really important. But what\'s more important is what they did next. The people responded to God\'s voice. On Sunday, we\'re going to dive back into the message of the prophet Haggai. And we\'re going to take a look at the proper response to the word of the Lord in our lives. I can\'t wait to see you then! P.Dave'
