I want change! Something different, new and exciting!!! Who also wants to feel alive and free again?
I heard someone once say that if you want to change anything in your life, then you must change your heart. I have spoken similar words too in the past, but there’s another key ingredient we need to add for effective and lasting change: your ears. My ears? Yes, your ears!
What are you listening to everyday?
If I want a life-defining, purposeful and hopeful change in my world, then I must train what I hear and prioritize what’s important. Do not allow any self-destructive behaviors, which begin with conflicting words, penetrate through your ears. If I permit negative people to speak into my life, then my actions will match what I hear. I definitely don’t want that… I desire wholesome and healthy interactions.
Want to lose weight? Tired of being sick and not feeling well? Living from paycheck to paycheck? What words does your body (i.e. ears) hear coming out of your mouth? Looking for a new start in a new city or state? Then what are you waiting for? The words you repeatedly speak over and over again paint pictures that transcends from your ears to form words that your mouth speak out loud.
I desire revival in my home and neighborhood. Am I asking for too much? Perhaps, but what if revival begins with me? Maybe I can begin by strategizing and prioritizing what I listen to first thing in the mornings with thoughts on how to strengthen my community. And every day there after, I can stop, pause and rewind my words to shape and create hours that turn into days that transcends into months and years of resurgence around me!!!
My Daily Medicine: My faith in God increases if I speak what is true, and decreases if I don’t. Be mindful of what comes out of your mouth, for what you say is on display for everyone to see.
“So faith proceeds from hearing, as we listen to the message about God’s Anointed. Is your mouth an open gate to death or life? Are you speaking for God or against Him? Does your words heal or kill?”
Paraphrased from Romans 10:17, Romans 3:13-15, respectively.
