Everywhere I go I see people with headphones or earphones covering their ears. They may be listening to music or books or just tuning out the noise around them. On top of that, it seems that every place of business is playing music over their sound system. Outside we hear traffic and construction noises. Even inside our own homes televisions blare out the voices of politicians, opinionated commentators, etc. constantly. We are forever bathed in noise.
But are we listening to the right things. In Isaiah 55:3 God says, “Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant.” When we don’t know what we should do, do we go to other people for advice? Or do we search God’s Word for the truth? Do we even bother to ask God for wisdom and help? Or do we rely on our own limited understanding? Do the loud and constant voices of people drown out the truth found in God’s voice?
In God’s voice we find truth, love, mercy, and everlasting life. In God’s voice we receive salvation, redemption, healing, hope, and freedom. Seek God’s voice today. Search His Word for wisdom and truth. He desires to make an everlasting covenant with you.
