Way 13 - Listen carefully to your conscience

Let u scome near to God with a sincere heart and a sure faith, because we have been made free from a guilty conscience and our bodies have been washed with pure water. Hebrews 10:22

Billy Graham correctly observed, "Most of us follow our conscience as we follow a wheelbarrow. We push it in front of us in the direction we want to go." To do so, of course, is a profound mistake. Yet all of us, on occasion, have failed to listen to the voice that God planted in our hearts, and all of us have suffered the consequences. God gave you a conscience for a very good reason: to make your path conform to His will. Wise believers make it a practice to listen carefully to that quiet internal voice. Count yourself among that number. When your conscience speaks, listen and learn. In all likelihood, God is trying to get His message through. And in all likelihood, it is a message taht you desperately need to hear.

The Bible says:

So I strive always to keep my conscience clear before God and man. Acts 24:16

Let us come near to God with a sincere heart and a sure faith, because we have been made free from guilty conscience, and our bodies have been washed with pure water. Hebrews 10:22

I will maintain my righteousness and never let go of it; my conscience will not reproach me as long as I live. Job 27:6
