If you hear an alarm, what do you do? An alarm is meant to alert you. It is meant to notify you of something that is unusual, potentially dangerous, or difficult. Do you ignore the alarm or do you at least check to see what is going on to cause the alarm to go off? What about a siren? What do you do when you hear a siren? A siren is a prolonged sound that is used as a signal to warn you of potential danger. What do you do when internal alarms and sirens begin to go off in your Spirit? Do you heed the alarms, seek God's face, pray, and wait on God to show you what is wrong or do you ignore the warnings?
Sometimes so much can be going on around you and your heart and mind get so clouded with the voices and the sounds of the world that you can fail to heed the warning sounds of God. Understand, God is always talking but we have to remember, He is the still small voice. He doesn't try to shout over the the other voices that are talking to you. Instead He wants you to be still and know that He is God. He wants you to tune out the voices of the world and to tune into Him and His Word. He wants your attention.
When you give God your attention, you take notice of Him. You stop what you are doing and you focus in on Him. You cast down every high thing that is trying to gain your attention by exalting itself against the knowledge of who God is and what God has said. You focus in on God and you position yourself to hear clearly the internal alarms and sirens that God has placed in you. Know that God's Holy Spirit dwells on the inside of you and it is meant to lead you, guide you, and to warn you while you walk out this journey called life.
