Today‘s Inspiration: ”My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.“ John 10:27-28 NIV. Everyday we can face many different voices which distracts us from the voice of God. The voices of our flesh, the world and the devil. Do we hear the Word of God, or do we listen to the worldly news, comments from social media or our fleshly desires? Aren’t these two years filled with scams daily? Why people can go into love scams, work scams, and product scams?
Fear of lack of finances, love, and health can easily open the gate to greed, lust and sickness. A Born Again disciple of Christ will be able to discern the Shepherd’s voice. Jesus taught,”The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.” John 10:2-5 NIV.
Prayer: O Lord my God, your sheep hears your voice. Remove the lust of my eyes, the lust of my flesh and the pride of life. Quieten my heart and silence the foes and the avenger. Open up my ears to hear only your Holy Word and open up eyes to see your glory of hope, faith, and love. Let my heart and mind follow you as you guide me with your rod and staff, for they counsel and comfort me. Open the gate to green pastures and quiet still waters of your peace, provision, and protection, in Jesus' Name, Amen.
