Have you ever listened or followed the wrong voice? The Bible warns about listening to the wrong voice. Have you ever read Psalms Chapter 1? It tells about listening to the wrong voice and shows us what happens when we do. The wrong voice is always there; read with me Psalms 1 verse 1 "Blessed (Happy)
is the man that walketh (Travels) not in the counsel (advice) of the ungodly, (Morally wrong) nor standeth in the way of sinners, (accounted guilty) nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful." (to make
mouths at, that is, to scoff) We are warned that if we are to be happy then we will have to be on guard for the wrong voice. Not one of us would just decide to do wrong; it happens over a time span as Casting Crowns sings in their song "It's a slow fade." Be careful and heed to the warning God has for us. It seems so innocent at first; I mean what harm could this lead to? Before you know what has happened it has gone way too far, but remember it didn't just happen all at once. Your happiness began to fade when you started traveling and taking advice from those that were doing things that were morally wrong. Then you started standing around them that were guilty and then it wasn't long before they made you feel like you were part of their group. You see what we read here is not a hunch, has nothing to do with positive thinking but has everything to do with emotions and feelings. Just because it feels good or even right, doesn't make it so! Poison Ivey feels wonderful when you scratch it, but when you do it spreads and turns into a nightmare before it's over. Marriages have failed because the grass looked greener on the other side but when they got to that supposedly greener field it was brown too. Actions that have been done that we refuse to face or things done to us we refuse to face. So we drug and drink to hide the pain. The wrong voice is always there to help you go down the wrong road, so be careful that you don't follow it. But we are also told who and what to follow Proverbs 3:5
Trust (Put confidents in) in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean (Support yourself) not unto thine own understanding.
Proverbs 3:6
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Proverbs 3:7
Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. Be alert and listen for the right voice for it is there too! So what are you hearing? Who are you following? Where is it getting you? Are you happy or are you miserable? Isaiah 30:21
And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. Put your faith in taking God at His word and you will see that you will become dumb to your discouragements and blind to your impossibilities and your doubts will soon die. Don't follow the wrong voice many have and they are miserable!
