DAY 5

NOW;    WHAT DOES GOD WANTS FROM YOU?     Pt.1.

Micah 6:6-8
Apparently, people have always needed to know what God wants from them. It's true that He has revealed what He wants ... and expects. But people have attempted life on their own terms, and what God wants of them gets "lost" in the darkness of human wisdom and striving. Then comes another reminder (sometimes in a deafening or dreadful way) of what God wants of us. My purpose this morning is simple: I want to think about this matter of what God wants from us. 

FIRSTLY HE WANTS OUR ATTENTION.

    A. People forget God!
        1. Deuteronomy 8:11-14,17 - ""Beware that you do not forget the LORD your God by not keeping His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I command you today, {12} "lest; when you have eaten and are full, and have built beautiful houses and dwell in them; {13} "and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold are multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied; {14} "when your heart is lifted up, and you forget
        the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage....then you say in your heart, 'My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth.'"
        2. Psalms 50:22- ""Now consider this, you who forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, And there be none to deliver:"
        3. Perhaps they remember His name, His existence: but in practice in fact they forget Him. Deuteronomy 8:11- ""Beware that you do not forget the LORD your God by not keeping His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I command you today,"

    B. Listen to God!
        1. Matthew 4:4- "But He answered and said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'""
            a. this verse comes out of great human need ... such need as can cause one to "forget" God.
        2. Matthew 17:5- "While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!""

A lot of us forget GOD. One of God's most requirement from us is our attention and trust me HE knows how to get it in Proverbs 1:7 it says The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction, now fearing God is a positive rather than a negative thing; fearing God is good because it saves us from caving into our own sinful nature. So today lets all develop a God fearing heart and turn our attention to what He wants and build that relationship with HIM He so desires!!!
