Surround Sound

Remember the old televisions and the portable tape player called "Walkman"?

Technology has advanced what seems like light years since then. One of the biggest advances is in the way we hear recordings. Back in the day, we used to listen to everything in "Mono" sound. It wasn't until the 1990's or so that we began to see a shift in practically everything going to "Stereo" sound. More recently, Stereo sound evolved into Surround Sound. Multiple speakers are set up around the listener in order for the audio to be heard with a 3-D effect.

I think most of us begin our relationship with God by hearing Him only in a Mono sound way. We hear Him only when we're praying or reading the Bible. As our relationship develops, we begin to hear Him in Stereo sound. Multiple sources provide the voice of God, speaking into our lives. I think most of us stop at that point. Our goal, of course, is to hear Him in Surround sound.

Jesus promised us that He would never leave us. We know that He desires to have a relationship with us. Isn't the foundation of a relationship communication? Therefore, we should be able to hear God's voice all around us anytime and anyplace. Let's set up our speakers and subwoofers so that God's voice becomes 3-D in our lives!
