This article will be short and precise but the aim of it is where its depth lies. We keep writing and aside from just showing up or claiming rewards, we intend to touch lives. ##If all you hear is what you hear, no respect lost, you are deaf. We are living in a noisy world. In biology, living things are classified into those which can speak. And if we want to expand on this, it one way or the other entails everything has a character of living.
Your car honked in traffic, a plate drop that resounded. Or maybe I should move faster into technology; headsets, smart phones, laptops and so on. In short, from here I just expanded upon the noise already. Or maybe it can be your personal conversation with AI chat bots.
Just log into the internet and you will hear several things that can either make or complicate your day. There is a proverb over here; ‘the ear has no option other than to hear’. Maybe I should expand a little on this. It makes the ear so choiceless that it has to comply with whatever sounds are available. At some point this proverb holds to some certainty from my own end; ‘you can tune your ears if you want to’.
Ok, this is not me talking about using ear muffs. It will do not much good; temporal or you even tuning into another section of noise. Some claim they are listening to cool music but in the end, this assumed cool music gives them sleepless nights. You can imagine why many become victims to lust or care about living a lavish lifestyle.
If you respond just to the words and speaking of this world, then you are likely a victim. What am I saying here; don't let the standards of this age overwhelm you. Try not to bait yourself. Who said you must marry the same year your friends did? So people start talking and you are digesting them. The pressure keeps boiling and you are tempted to force into marriage just for marriage sake.
How did it end? Or much better I can say, please don't rush in. One of the worst places to get stuck is marriage. The question is, what has God said concerning you? What is your purpose and the procedures to meet up?
”My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me”---.John 10:27 NIV
Have you been listening or are you so busy trying to digest the day to day noise? You need to make relevant use of your inner ear. What this leads to is peace of mind.
At least I have some experience to start with. How Jesus extracted me from the noisy world of this age. That comparison lifestyle, greed, covetousness, malice, envy, hatred and so on. So I am not telling you what is unachievable, if you start paying attention to Jesus, other voices will die off.
“Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.”---Revelation 3:20 NIV.
