So many voices in this world.
Some tell you where to go.
Some tell you who you should be.
Some tell you what they want you to be.
Confusion sets in.
Doubt creeps in.
Amidst all these voices, who should we all listen to?
The voice of truth, of course.
Just because someone tells you to be something you're not, and though it may feel like that person's right, though it may seem like the right thing to do, just ask yourself, "Is that what God wants me to do?"
Yes, friends, we shouldn't always trust the voices we hear everyday.
Instead we should be still, wait upon the Lord, to hear His voice, through the Word, by worshipping Him, and of course in prayer.
A simple man believes anything, but a prudent man gives thought to his steps. (Proverbs 14:15)
And of course, the devil has a voice too.
And trust me, his words are always so luring, so tempting.
We gotta be wise to be able to detect that it's the devil's voice speaking.
Of course, when a temptation to do something bad comes, even if it may seem small, stuff like disobeying parents, etc, we gotta stop and question ourselves, and if your conscience starts to stir up in you, you KNOW that you're not doing the right thing.
But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. (2 Corinthians 11:3)
