"My Sheep Hear My Voice"
Today in my readings, this verse spoke to me:
"My sheep hear (listen to) my voice. I know them and they follow me." John 10:27
It prompted questions in my heart: Do I hear the voice of Jesus? Do I really listen for His voice in the course of my day? Does He really know me and do I let Him really know me? Do I follow Him or do I go my own way? All good questions to ponder.
This was my desire for the new year - to know Jesus better, to walk with Him and He with me, to learn to be Him to others. I try to stay open to hear his voice - do I allow quiet time for this or am I more focused on the activities of the day? Do I share with him my troubles, my gratitude, my prayers, my desires? Do I read the Word (scripture), so that I can know the persons of God - the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit?
I think my greatest challenge is listening for His voice. I am so busy planning and doing that I don't allow enough time to just BE and let Him in. Today I will commit to do that. Baby steps - 10 minutes of stillness. What about this verse speaks to you (and perhaps convicts you?)
