PSALM 143:8.
The Children of Israel were backward looking wailers. They spent a lot of time complaining about what they lacked and wishing for a return to their former life in Egypt. I guess they forgot the abuse and oppression of slavery! And this was a big distraction.
When Moses wanted to get their attention, the message was often preceded with “Hear, O Israel!” In other words, “Listen people. I am about to tell you something important.” God often prefaces His message to us in a similar way. It may be through the words of a friend, family member, scripture, or an event. Or He may speak to us directly through the Holy Spirit. No matter the vehicle for the message, if we are not paying attention, we miss important directions.
