"A few weeks ago my buddy Vicky was getting ready for work when she heard a beeper going off somewhere in her house. She was a tad perplexed, since she didn't own a beeper. She reasoned it was her husband's, knew he'd be in trouble without it, and started trying to find it. The sound was so loud she was sure it was in the room with her, but she searched in vain. She looked under the cushions of her couch and chairs. She looked behind the TV. She exhausted one room and looked in another. No matter where Vicky went, the sound was the same. No 'getting hotter', no 'getting colder.' Just a steady beep. Imagine her surprise when she realized the beep was coming from inside of her. The battery on her pacemaker was going out and sounding an alarm. She didn't even know her pacemaker had an alarm. You may not know you have one either, but you do. When it goes off, you've got to learn to listen to it. The hardest part may be that you won't always understand why the beeper is going off-why God is directing you to back off from a situation or relationship. The warning may not make any human sense. When this happens, beware of rationalizing yourself into a pit! Mind what the Holy Spirit is telling you even if you don't know why. You may live on for years without clear understanding, but you can praise God by faith, knowing that He veered your car in a different direction to keep you out of some kind of ditch."
