Have you ever seen one of those parrots that mimic everything you say? You can teach them to say “Hello!” and many other things. They can mimic a phone or doorbell ringing, a baby crying, and pretty much anything you want to teach them. They can learn sounds that you don’t teach them either, which may not always be good. They don’t know any better, and when they hear an interesting sound, they simply just start imitating it. They listen to a sound, and began to copy it.
The listening principle isn’t just for parrots though. We can spend time beholding Christ in Bible study and prayer, or we could decide to fill our minds with things that will make us unfit for God’s Kingdom.
If we decide to fill our minds with worldly music, unfit movies, and even food that’s not good for us, do you think God would let us enter His kingdom? Of course not!
If we are like the world, God wouldn’t let us into His kingdom. It’s not because He doesn’t love us, but because He sees where we have gone astray, and knows that we wouldn’t be able to change. Which is why we must spend time with God every day. When we have our morning devotions, and start the day out by talking to Him, we have a good start to our day, which will help us to stay on the right path throughout the whole day.
God wants us to stay right with Him. By doing all these things, we can keep our relationship with Him strong.
I want to stay right with God and have a relationship with Him, don't you?
