We get to hear voices and noises. Noises in this blog post are sound waves that disturb and distract us from hearing the voice. The voice is what you hear from God.

What you hear can push you out from the Garden.
In the very beginning of the Bible we have the book of Genesis. In the book, we see after God created Adam and later he created Eve. God spoke to Adam. Then Adam told Eve God’s instruction. But Satan in the form of a serpent spoke to Eve. The serpent twisted the truth spoken by God to Adam and Adam to Eve and tempted her to eat the fruit from the tree of good and evil. Is not often temptation often glorifying the short term and the quick and easy option. Eve used logic and reasoning and decided to follow the crafty voice of the serpent. Eve considered it wise in her own eyes to follow the enticement of the serpent rather than following the instruction and truth told by God to Adam and what Adam had told Eve.

It’s a great privilege that we can eat and drink along with Jesus at the communion table. So let us with a thankful heart enter into this. Let us partake in the body and blood of Jesus Christ as He wants us to do as often as possible. First let us look at the Bible verse which is the basis of this.

And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” ( Luke 22:19 NKJV)

When we are pushed to the corner, when we are in a difficult situation, we have choices to make. A superior choice which may be painful in the short term, but beneficial long term or an relatively inferior choice which may be pleasurable short term, but not beneficial in the long term. 

We have gone through situations like these. In the past we would have made inferior choices. But relying on Jesus and the Holy Spirit we see ourselves making better choices.
