March 15, 2009 - Whose Voice Are You Hearing?

So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. 
Genesis 3:6  

i believe that I am smart enough to filter out everything that people say to me between good and bad. Sometimes I even flat out refuse to listen. But most of the time, I listen to what everyone has to say. But do I hear and listen to Jesus? During times of temptation and struggles, do I hear His voice that beckons me back to Him? Or do I give into the sin? 

The Lord is always there to help. He will always listen whether it seems like it or not; God is always there. The fact of the matter is: "Are you listening to His advice; do you care enough to listen?" I find myself falling into traps all of the time simply because I lack discipline. This is such a hard battle and there are SO many trials. I just got tired. Tired to the point that I want to give up and closed my ears to the Lord's encouragement to me. Why is my faith so lacking now after some trials? Its because I don't listen to God when he calls me back. I need to work on this relationship that is so one sided and go back to the Lord. 

Amen.
