Ep 14 - Who's in Your Ear

Do you let just anybody get in your ear? You gotta be careful about that!

Here are some Biblical examples of letting the wrong people get in your ear:
~ Genesis 3:1-5 - "Did God really say?"
~ Esther 5:14, 6:12-14 - Haman's lame friends
~ Matthew 16:21-23 - Peter to Jesus

Plus, Jezebel (who ran her husband, the king), David's wife Michael (who tried to get in his ear about dancing before the Lord), Job's friends ("curse God and die"), and of course, Delilah!

And then we don't listen to the voice we need to be listening to! God's!
~ Exodus 3:9-14 - God has to get loud with Moses to get him to go to Pharaoh!

Personally, I've had some wrong people try to get in my ear - like bullies, cruel teachers and bad bosses. I've also had well-meaning friends, loved ones, and romantic interests try to get in my ear with the wrong stuff!

Here are some scriptures to encourage you:
~ Romans 10:17 - Faith comes by hearing
~ Galatians 5:7-8 - You were running a good race
~ Matthew 12:34 - Out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks
