“And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them,
and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.”
John 10:4
Isn’t it kind of neat that when
someone calls on the phone although you can’t see them you recognize their
voice and you know who you are talking to? If a stranger calls you ask
yourself, “who is this?” and you wait until they tell you who is calling. God
is like this too. He wants to go before you in your endeavors. He wants you to
follow him. He wants to lead you by His still small voice. He’s given you the
Holy Spirit so you can discern and know when He is leading and what His perfect
plan and will is. If the voice of the enemy talks to you, you can know that it
isn’t Him that is speaking. You know and sense God’s voice in your knower and
you can’t be fooled as you have regularly heard His voice in the past. Jesus is
our Shepherd. He wants to make Himself known in your life. If you have trouble
hearing His voice, quiet yourself before Him so the distractions of this world
don’t interfere. Shut your brain off for a while. Focus intently on the voice
of your Shepherd. He will lead and guide you.
Father, we thank You for voice recognition. We than You
that when people call us on the phone we can discern who it is. Help us to be
able to discern and know Your voice as well. May we never be fooled by the
voice of a stranger. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
