A.I.: Artificial Identityਨਮੂਨਾ

Have you ever had a backseat driver? Or maybe you’ve been the backseat driver! You know what that means, right? Though someone else is in the driver’s seat, the person not in control of the car is trying to direct every single step. In the same way, sometimes, we give the voices of others in our lives space to become our figurative backseat drivers. We let their words, their advice, their opinions, and their critiques become what drives us. And while some of those people may even be guiding us toward good things, if we’re listening to them above all else, we’re still not headed in the right direction. God’s thoughts of you? They’re precious and vast! And that means God’s thoughts are more important, more powerful, and more personal than anyone else’s. That makes God’s voice the only one we should let guide us down the road in this life.

Today, think about who else’s voice you may be giving too much power to in your life. Ask God to help tune your ears to hear God’s guidance more than anyone else’s.
