In Harmony with the Spirit


You belong to God … the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world. … love comes from God.

1 John 4:4, 7 (NLT)


A popular Christian song today speaks about “the voice of truth.” The fact is, we hear many voices calling out to us, but we can make up our minds to listen and believe this voice of truth.

For us, this voice of truth is the Spirit of God who indwells every true believer in Christ. He is more powerful, more capable, more positive in His good desires for us than any other voice we may hear. Subconsciously, I know this and probably you do too.

Daily, I hear the negatives, the complaints and the doubts. I have a choice. Will I listen to the Spirit of truth? Do I even hear Him, and if I do, will I believe and respond in faith? Or will I choose to believe the negative voices, the shrill cries of this world and the flesh with their insatiable desires to protect and pleasure self? Who do I listen to?

I know the choice I’m making. How about you?


Lord, tune my ears to this Voice of Truth. Drown out the deceptive voices of woe and want. Help me to listen and believe Your Good Spirit. Amen.
