Fantastic Friday #233-Sound

Sound

1 But as for you, communicate the behavior that goes with sound teaching. 2 Older men are to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in endurance. 3 Older women likewise are to exhibit behavior fitting for those who are holy, not slandering, not slaves to excessive drinking, but teaching what is good. Titus 2:1-3

Do you ever find yourself listening to the sounds around you? I heard this week something that I had before mentioning that smell is the most powerful of the senses that we have. They also said hearing would not be so high on the list, which for me makes perfect sense. This explains why I am so easily distracted by something that smells good or is visually appealing. Maybe that is why the evil one uses things visually that can easily distract you from one of our lesser senses. That makes me think that I need, and maybe we all need to work on improving our sense of hearing. The best way to do that is probably to sit down and listen to Him and His Word and see what He is saying. Another way to do it is to sit in silence and listen to the sounds around us, and I bet you will probably hear something you haven't heard before. Listen to Him in order to become more dignified and sound in your faith.

Have a great weekend.
