One of your most important senses that you have is hearing. There are so many sounds and noises that you can hear. Music, nature, friends, and videos all have sounds and can have an influence on you. It is important to watch what you hear because what you put into your ears influences who you are and what you think .We will discuss what you put in your ears by what you shouldn’t put in your ears, why you shouldn’t, what you should put in your ears, and why.
God wants us to be careful about what we put in our ears. Music is one of the most important things. Satan, before he was kicked out of heaven, was the music leader in heaven. He was in charge of everything musical in heaven. It is pretty obvious why music today can be so bad. When you listen to music that has a negative influence on you it starts to get inside your head and change your normal way of thinking. When people start talking or gossiping about other people, the things they say can be pretty hurtful and awful. You need to make sure you don’t tune in are participate in the drug or sex talk that goes around. If you stay around those people your mind will start dipping in the gutter and make your mind start thinking the sick and twisted ways.
You should not listen to music or gossip about things that should not be said or heard. God doesn’t want your mind to be focused on worldly things. He wants you to be focused on Him. When you listen to the lies and you hear them over and over again you start believing them. The devil likes to whisper lies in our ears. He will constantly tell you again and again. If you don’t do something about it you will start to believe or think differently. Don’t let things get into your ears and mind because they will take your focus off of God and make you start thinking in a way that you weren’t.
There are certain things that you should listen to. Christian and worship music is one of the best things out there to listen to because it gives you a positive outlook and encourages you. Instead of listening to music that gets you down and says things you normally wouldn’t say; listen to encouraging and uplifting music that also praises the Lord. Also, surround yourself with friends that talk about good and encouraging things. Not the gossip about who did what and when. Talk about fun and clean topics instead. Before you say something think to yourself would Jesus say this? Then make your decision whether you should say it or not.
When you talk about and listen to encouraging things, it helps you stay focused on God. It also fills your spirit with good-natured things. It is better to have a nice clean and tidy room then to have a room full of old pizza and dirty clothes. Why not keep your spirit and mind clean and tidy? The things that you say reflect on what you think about. What you think about has to do with what you hear and listen to. Do you want your mind set to be all about the junk you hear on TV or in some of today’s music? I don’t think so. God wants your focus on Him and if you fill your mind with these things then your focus will be in the total opposite direction.
The things you put is your ears can be discussed by what you shouldn’t put in your ears, why you shouldn’t, what you should, and the benefit of it. God wants us to be careful about what we put in our ears. You should not listen to music or gossip about things that should not be said or heard. God doesn’t want your mind to be focused on worldly things. There are certain things that you should listen to. Christian and worship music is one of the best things out there to listen to because it gives you a positive outlook and encourages you. When you talk about and listen to encouraging things, it helps you stay focused on God. It also fills your spirit with good-natured things. Everyone says not to stick things in your ears so why do we stick things that are wrong into our ears through bad music and gossip? Wouldn’t it just hurt more?
