What? or Who? Are you listening to?

Do you ever stop to listen to what your listening to?

What do you listen to as you go about your daily life? Of course we have the radio in the car or maybe the TV in the background as you make breakfast...of course it could be the computer that you sit at for much of your day....or maybe you are really connected and you listen to your phone or PDA for email and "updates."

Whatever you listen to, has a way of shaping who you are because what you listen to is based on Who you listen to.

An old gospel song says, "Deep within you there's a voice of the darkness and voice of the light and just by listening you've made your decision because the voice you hear is going to win the fight."

I grew up in Southern Idaho where there are many Basque Sheepherders, and I remember hearing one who was interviewed on the radio. The reporter noticed, as he spent time with this sheepherder that his two dogs were always fighting. And so he asked the shepherd, "Which of your dogs usually wins?" To which the man replied, "The one I feeds the most!"
And you know it's true! It's true in every aspect of our lives and especially true in our spiritual lives!
The apostle Paul tells us in his letter to the Galatians that the spirit we listen to is the one that is going to win. Who is winning the fight in your life today? and more importantly...Who are you listening too?
