Dear Young Christian:
In a shop selling electronic gadgets in Trinidad, I saw the following advertising slogan:
EAR TRAFFIC CONTROL
While I didn’t pay a whole lot of attention to what they were advertising, I am assuming it was head phones and equipment for blocking out sounds we don’t want, or need to hear. Anyway, it made me think of what the Lord said when he was here on earth: “Take heed what ye hear” (Mark 4:24). Are we careful to listen to those things that encourage and edify us in the Lord? There’s lots of noise in the world today and lots that the Devil wants to pour into our ears. Let’s be careful what we listen to this week. Let’s maintain Ear Traffic Control!
Above all, lets have ears tuned to the voice of the Lord. Let’s be like Samuel who said, “Speak; for thy servant heareth” (1 Samuel 3:10).
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
