Words Of Encouragement To Start The Day (Tuesday 6/2/09)

Turn the Radio Off……………..

Philippians 2:5 (King James Version)

5Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

On my drives to work in the morning as I’m talking to God, its just me and Him. No distractions, no cell phones, no radio playing in the background. I can hear so clearly what God is speaking to me. After that I listen to worship music until I get to work. Well, after work the party is on. I am blasting my radio close to the highest volume. I’m singing and dancing and acting a plum fool sitting in rush hour traffic.

 

It almost never fails that when I get home or to my final destination, I open my phone to a missed call or text. I think to myself, “How did that happened?” Well, common sense would tell me that the sound from my radio drowned out the call. Sometimes the call has been from a old friend just wanting to catch up, but sometimes it was from my boss who had or needed some vital information from me.

 

This is sometimes how we operate in our spiritual lives. When we are in ‘Jesus’ mode we tune the rest of the world out, but when we are going throughout the rest of our day we let the sounds of the situations and circumstances drown out the voice of God. So many times we miss a call or text from God because we have so many sounds blasting through our spiritual ear drums. Some calls may have been just to say hello, but other calls may have been to give you healing, deliverance or peace.

 

Many things can be radio’s in our lives………….family, friends, temptation, our past, our fears, and the list goes on. Today as we begin our day, let’s begin to turn the volume down on the foolish things in our lives. The more we allow the voice of God to play loud in our hearts and minds, the sooner the radio will automatically shut off.
