About this listen

Proverbs teaches that we become like the company we keep and the company we keep is ultimately chosen by the cravings of our hearts. Many Christians claim to be too busy or too tired for even five minutes of Scripture, while giving hours each day to trivial entertainment. God is not fooled by our excuses. If we offer Him only the leftovers of our time and devotion, why should we expect anything but judgment? A companion of fools becomes a fool, and a life filled with foolishness reveals a heart that has not truly sought the Lord. God demands not mere “priorities” but our whole lives our calling, our decisions, our affections governed by His Word. Jesus commands us to seek first the Kingdom and His righteousness; only in that wholehearted surrender do we find peace. As Augustine famously wrote, “Our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee.”
