Words of Encouragement
September - 05 - 2004
Who are you listening to in your life? We can hear all sorts of different voices, but we can follow only one. So who are you going to listen to as you make your decisions about morality, values, ethics, and character? Who has earned the right to be heard regarding life, death, salvation, and sin? God makes it unmistakably clear; we must listen to his Son Jesus!
Mark 9:5-7 is the scripture reading for today.
5 Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah" --
6 because he did not knows what to say, for they were greatly afraid.
7 And a cloud came and overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud saying, "This is My beloved Son. Hear Him."
Let us pray.
Almighty God, please help us silence the voices of doubt, deception, and false claims that surround us. Help us hear the voice of Jesus and follow Him and obey Your will in all things no matter what everyone else around may choose to do.
In Jesus' name we pray.
Amen.
