18 ‘Pray for us, for our conscience
is clear and we want to live honorably in everything we do.’ Hebrews 13:18 (NLT)
As a Christian I believe the Holy Spirit lives
within me and because He does live in me, I think of Him as that ‘little voice’
warning me not to sin. The thing that is
interesting is my obedience. So this is
how I come to realise that obedience to God’s voice is very important.
The little voice is like an alarm, when a burglar
comes into your house and the alarm goes off, you have a chance to catch him
and have him arrested. Now that is when
you take note of the alarm and carry it through. You can also ignore the alarm and switch it
off and pretend you didn’t hear it and the burglar can rob you blind.
My little voice speaks to me mostly when I feel
irritated with people around me, I will feel uncomfortable and not happy with
my reaction towards them. I will also feel
regret and before I realise it I will repent there and then. I normally pray and ask “Please Lord, forgive
me I have sinned.”
I am of course working on my attitude towards
people in the sense that I don’t want to be offended constantly by them, that I
should try and accept them for who they are.
Thought for today:
You have to become obedient and listen to ‘your
little voice’ and it will save you from going under.
Prayer
Father God please help me to always strive to
have a conscience without offense towards God and me. I pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus
Christ. Amen
