The Voice Inside Your Head

"I always do my best to have a clear conscious toward God and men"  -- Acts 24:16 / HCSB

 

When you are about to do something that you know is wrong, a little voice inside your head has a way of speaking up.  That voice, of course, is your conscience:  an early warning system designed to keep you out of trouble.  If you listen to that voice, you will be okay; if you ignore it, you are asking for headaches, or heartbreaks, or both.

 

Whenever you are about to make an important decision, you should listen carefully to the quiet voice inside.  Sometimes, of course, it is tempting to do otherwise.  From time to time you will be tempted to abandon your better judgement by ignoring your conscience.  But remember:  a conscience is a terrible thing to waste.  So instead of ignoring that quiet little voice, pay careful attention to it. If you do, your conscience will lead you in the right direction - in fact, it's trying to lead your right now.  So listen . . . and learn.

Dear Lord, You have given us a conscience that tells us right from wrong.  Let us trust our conscience, and let us live according to Your teachings, not just for today, but forever.
