"Listen up."
A few weekends ago, my son played in a school soccer tournament. Their hard
work paid off when they played the tournament championship
match. As you can imagine, the stress level was high and they were
nervous. As 1 of 3 coaches on the team, I had one simple piece of advice
before they took the field. "Slow down and do the right thing all the
time!" Listen in to the huddle talk.
"They show that in their hearts they know what is right and wrong." Romans 2:15
Whether you're on the soccer field or someplace else, listen to your
conscience. If you listen to your conscience, you'll do the right thing.
God gave you something called a conscience: some people describe it as a
little voice, but really, it's a feeling--it's a feeling that tells you
whether something is right or wrong. Your conscience will usually tell
you what to do and when to do it. Pay attention to that feeling and
trust it.
If you slow down and listen to your conscience,
you'll usually stay out of trouble. and if you listen to your
conscience, it won't be so hard to control your own behavior. Why?
Because most of the time, you conscience already knows right from wrong.
So don't be in a hurry to do things. Instead of "jumping right in,"
listen to your conscience. In the end, you'll be very glad you did.
Well, they did and won in the end. The best part was the class they
showed in winning. There is a message in this for us as well. Slow down,
simplify the game of life and listen to our conscience. If you have a
personal relationship with the Lord He will speak truth in love to those
who will slow down and listen.
