Many of you have seen the movie, “Looks Who’s Talking.” It is a comedy of listening to the words of what a baby is thinking who cannot talk. Many times we have wondered what those little babies must be thinking. At some point they begin to talk and clue us in on their thoughts. We are so excited when they can talk. Then as they grow and ask more questions and talk nonstop, at some point we may say to them, “stop talking”.
In today’s world, there are so many voices in our head. There are families, friends, preachers, priests, religious leaders, counselors, teachers, professors and physicians telling us how to live our lives. There are televisions, radios, computers, and movies providing information and entertainment. There are the GPS systems telling us how to get to our destinations. All of these voices have opinions to tell us where we should go, how we should live, what we should do with our lives. This month I will be sharing, that we need to look at who’s talking when we are confronted with decisions. Is the voice pointing us to Jesus or pointing us away from Jesus? Is the person who is talking encouraging us to serve God or discouraging us to serve God? Does the person who is talking love God and love others?
