There's this great country song out called "I hear voices" by Chris Young. He sings about the voices he hears with advice from his parents regarding a variety of different things and points out how helpful they are when he has lost his way.
I have always identified with this song because I too hear voices of advice and encouragement. But, I have also fought with voices in my head that to be honest can be pretty negative at times. I will have random thoughts just "pop" into my head. I was having a rough week last week, and a random question showed up. "Why can't I have the answer key?" If you are a teacher or home schooling mom, you know exactly what this is and know how very important that answer key can be. I want the answer key to life. I want to get it right. I want to make the right decisions for myself and my family. I don't want to mess up. This is all good, but the desire to get it "right" all the time can result in frustration and feelings of not measuring up.
After pondering this for a day or two, I heard a voice in my head that reminded me that God has provided the answer key through His word. Wow!!!! The answers are all there. No matter the situation, if I go to His word, He will lead me to His solution, His answer. I want His answers. Not the answers of my mind or the answers of this world, but His.
I want to hear more of His voice, don't you?
