Voices
I can "hear" my thoughts. Not audibly, but you know what I mean. It is also referred to as "self-talk". Do you do that?
By nature, I cannot completely avoid self-talk, especially when I am not engaged in an active conversation. How I self-talk affects a lot of things, consciously or unconsciously.
At times, it may feel like a scene from a movie or a comic book. A devil in one shoulder and an angel in the other shoulder. That is an exaggeration, of course; I have never seen either on my shoulders.
But it is indeed important for me to know whose "voice" I am hearing. Never should I mistake my selfish voice or the devil's voice as someone else's voice. It was not others who said I am the greatest; it was my voice. It was not God who said that sin is okay; it was the devil.
I need to check whose voice I am hearing. And only heed God's voice.
