Advice. It’s everywhere and from everyone. We can’t even go through the grocery check-out without it flashing from the magazine covers, “How to get the love you deserve,” or “How to raise happy kids.”
But I’m not interested in the world’s voice. I’m interested in the words and direction from the only One who knows the beginning from the end. The One who spoke and worlds formed. The One who loves me perfectly and completely. I want His words guiding my feet.
“You have heard…but I say…” Jesus keeps repeating those words in His Sermon on the Mount. Over and over and over, “You have heard…but I say…”
Because we’re going to hear lots of things. But only One voice tells the whole Truth. So before I do that next thing, I’m compelled to ask, “Who am I listening to?”
This Week’s “Sermon on the Mount” Memory Verses (keep at it, friends):
41 And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42 Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you. 43 You have heard that it was said, ’You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.
Matthew 5:41-43
