That's not what I want to hear!

That's not what I want to hear! This week I have thought about this statement a lot. Let me tell you the story behind it. We have two 4 year old little girls in our church and one of them was sitting with my mom Sunday morning. While Steve was preaching she wanted to read a book. So naturally mom gave her a Bible. The little girl after a few minutes made the statement. "He's not reading what I want to hear." Of course we as adults laugh at the story but how many times have we said that to ourselves. I know I say it all the time. God does not tell us what we want to hear, he tells us the truth. In the last days many will look for teachers that will tell them what they want to hear. Hello! we are there now. Many men of God have watered down the truth so the people can feel good about what they hear. Most of the time if I feel good about what I hear one of 2 things is happening. I am in God's will or the preacher is not telling me the truth of what God's word is saying. Lets face it the truth hurts and I am not always in God's will. So next time when you think he is not saying what you want to hear, think about why!
