The USS Cole was bombed October 12, 2000, before Sept 11th, 2001, now known as 911. It killed 17 members of this crew. Before the bombing there were warnings that were ignored, including a group that was allowed on the ship to sell their wares. They were on the boat and noticed a lot of the crew gathering for lunch. The captain of this vessel "Felt strange about them." He now he believes they were spys sent before the bombing. How are we ignoring the warnings of God in our lives?
When God changes us, and we are willing, it's always a good thing. When we harden our hearts and won't listen to his warnings, look out, things get broken. The doctor for the USS Cole was about to have his lunch. After sitting down and praying for his meal, he heard The Lord say "You don't belong here." The good doctor ignored His warning, so He spoke it again. He ignored it again, dismissed it. Then The Lord said "Leave." The doctor did and within 90 seconds a boat loaded with explosives hit right about where the doctor was sitting. God is in control, we just have to listen, and obey. Be like the good doctor and listen, if you're not hearing, then listen better, or get those things out of your life that are causing you not to hear God's voice.
