Who are You Listening To

Have you ever thought about the three voices in the Garden of Eden? Voice #1 was God. And Adam and Eve heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden (Genesis 3:8) As long as there was ONE VOICE, life was as it should be. There was peace, unity, joy and love…all of creation was in sync with one another…the animals, the plants, the humans were all in harmony. Enter Voice #2, the voice of Satan. At that moment Adam and Eve had a choice. Who would they listen to? Voice #3 came into play when Eve spoke up and apparently convinced Adam this was a good plan! Voice #3 represents humanity…people! Isn’t it amazing how many times in our life we find ourselves in the same spot as the first family? It’s pretty easy to hear the enemy and it’s really easy to hear everybody else’s advice. Good grief! Most of our friends are as messed up as we are…they can hardly take care of themselves! God’s voice is quiet. That’s why we need to find a quiet spot each day just to sit in His presence. The Bible tells us to “Be still and know that I am God”. (Psalm 46:10) The best part about hearing and obeying HIS voice is that He is the one who brings us back to the way it was meant to be. Life filled with peace, unity, joy and love!
