Voice inside your head

The voice inside your head

How many times do we go through each day making decisions on what we want and what we think we need to do? Do we listen to the voice in our head that tells us what we should do?  I remember a couple of years ago I interviewed for this Pharma Job after three interviews I received an offer for this job. I remember talking to my wife at the time and asking her what do you think. She asked what God says about it. I remember thinking I believe he wants me to have this Job, but I had this feeling that I should not take it, but it was more money and better benefits. So I went against that voice in my head and took the job. We sold our house and bought another house in the school district that we wanted to get our girls in and we thought all was well. She went to part time with her job so she could stay home with the girls more and all were going well we thought. I year later I received a call that I would be losing my job. This was a hard time for me I remember being angry with God and thinking why did you allow this to happen. I remember Him telling me I tried to tell you but you decided on your own. Things were tough over the next few months but God brought me through all this.  A few years later I made another decision based on what I thought was right and not listen to God. I got caught up in the gym and dong things I should have not been doing. During this time not only did I take my off God I took it off other things in my life? Again I lost some things in my life because I made choices that I wanted and I did not listen to the voice in my head. I can tell you this God is working on me and bringing me out of the hole that I was in. However I will tell you that because I did things on my own I was in a Dark place. I write this sharing listen to God and don’t make decisions based on what you want because you will lose things in your life. However I do know God will use this chapter in my life to glorify His name.

Acts 24:16 “I always do my best to have a clear conscience toward God and men.”

When you’re 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’ll be okay; if you ignore it, you’re asking for headaches or heartbreaks, or both. Whenever you’re about to make an important decision, you should listen carefully to the quiet voice inside. Sometimes, of course, it’s tempting to do otherwise. From time to time you’ll be tempted to abandon your better judgment 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 you right now so listen and learn.
