You Are What You Listen To
You’ve heard the statement “you are
what you eat.” And, physically this is
true—your body and health are merely
products of what you digest. But rarely
do we make the same connection to
our spiritual lives. In other words, “you
are what you listen to.”
Have you ever considered that your
musical listening habits have a direct
correlation to your spiritual condition
and direction in life? Music is a
powerful influence that helps to create
a direction and then feeds that
direction at the same time. It shapes
emotions and attitudes that become
desires and decisions, which ultimately
determine destiny.
It should be the life goal of every
Christian to have a thoroughly biblical
worldview—a truthful, God-centered
perspective in every area of life. No
area of life should be exempt from
biblical principles and the glory of God.

And yet, so often we
compartmentalize our relationship
with God. We reserve for Him that
whi ch i s con veni en t, but we
rationalize personal allowances—for
instance in our entertainment, our
dress, our personal pleasures of
living—and yes, in our music.
The great struggle of the Christian life
is the “flesh against the spirit.” Our
flesh continues to rise up and desires
control. Have you ever considered
that your music will either be a
facilitator of the Spirit or a facilitator
of your flesh?
The fact is, God is God! He’s not only
God when I have a lot of prayer
requests. He’s God when I put in my
ear-buds. And He has a lot to say
about my music, my song, my
meditations, and even my ears!
