One Voice Above Many

Devotional From The Sermon: The Anxiety-Free Life: Peace Found at His Feet

Rev. Dr. Bankole Akinbinu

Reading: Psalm 46:10; Matthew 6:33

Devotional:

In the complex life, Martha ran from voice to voice—demands, expectations, obligations. In the simple life, there is one voice: Jesus. The world presents a cacophony of competing voices telling you who to be and what to do. But Jesus invites you to stillness, to hear His singular voice above the noise. “Be still and know that I am God.” When you make Jesus your center point, everything else orbits around Him rather than you orbiting around your agenda. This doesn’t mean ignoring responsibilities, but reordering priorities. Seek first His kingdom, and everything else finds its proper place. Today, identify what voices are pulling you away from Jesus. Choose to tune your ear to the one Voice that brings peace, clarity, and truth.

Reflection:

• What are the loudest voices (people, media, inner expectations) that most often drown out Jesus’ voice in your life?
• How can you practically “be still” today—creating space where God’s voice is the primary voice you listen to?
