We've all heard the beautiful songs and sounds of the Three Tenors. Unfortunately, the Three Voices we all have access to don't sound as lovely as the harmonies from the Three Tenors when they're all singing at one time in our heads.

The three voices we, as individuals, have access to are; Our own - Satan's - and God's. Being spiritual beings wrapped in a sinful fleshly body, we're always going to have Satan's voice to contend with (until we die, or the Lord comes back - then Satan is outta here!) But until then, Satan will use every trick in the book to distract us, to deceive us, to pull us away from the One voice we should constantly be in tune with.

Then, there's our own voice: "This is what I want, it's my life, I'm going to live life the way I see fit and that's the way it is." "I got to have this", "I got to have that" - me, me, me - "Why me?" - "Why not me?" Today's world is clearly trying (and has succeeded more than not) to convince us all - that we 'deserve' this or that...that we're being cut short somehow or in someway unless we 'have this' or 'do that'. This has lead to generation of people who feel self-entitled, led by an older generation who grew up living with the mantra, "if it feels good, do it" ...

Can you see the evidence in the world I'm talking about? Can you identify with these two voices that pull us away from our total dependence on God? Have you ever gotten that whatever it was, that you just HAD to have only to find little, if no joy from it afterward? We all have.

The creator of the universe has chosen to not only create the universe.. but he chose to create you and me - to have a one-on-one relationship with Him forever; so that we may live life to the fullest while here on earth too. He chose to create you and have you born on the exact date you were born, for a distinct purpose that He will share with you (us) if we just ask Him to reveal it to us.

What if, instead of being pulled in every direction the wind blows - by Satan's voice and our own, that we, instead, truly seek God's voice above our own? What if we chose to disregard the enemy's attempts to lead us away from God's will by praying to Him, for Him to lead our way and help us to distinguish His voice above Satan's and our own? What if we truly allowed God to guide us with the Holy Spirit in us - to the life we were meant to live? What if we chose to listen to God's voice every day, every moment... What difference do you believe that would make in your life and those lives around you?

We have access to three voices: Our own, Satan's and God's.... which one are you listening to?
