Title: Who Do You Listen To?
Text:
Psalm 32:8 (ESV)
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.
Observation:
It's amazing the huge amount of data that has become available in the last 10 to 15 years. I saw some statistics on this recently, and they were mind boggling. I had a high school teacher that told us over 50 years ago, "A good education will result in you knowing how much you will never know".
So, how do we sift through all of this data, and find the information that we need to live our lives, and to fulfill our purpose for being alive? I believe the key is who you listen to.
Luke 10:41-42 (ESV)
41 But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, 42 but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her."
The thing that informs me on today's topic is these words of Jesus, "Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her". You can never go wrong when you get God's perspective, and you get that by spending time with Him in prayer and the Word of God.
This is what Jesus will do for you if you take the time to sit daily at His feet. He will be your personal tutor and mentor.
Psalm 32:8 (AMP)
I [the Lord] will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you.
Prayer:
Father God, I am so thankful for the privilege of being able to sit at Your feet, and to know that You are always available; with You there is never a backlog, and You are an on time God. Father, teach me, and I will teach others. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
"I love to tell the story,
Because I know 'tis true;
It satisfies my longings
As nothing else can do."
