he does great things beyond our understanding.”
One car. Six adults. Six voices. One destination. Does the driver listen to the native voices who know the way but disagree on the best route? Does the driver listen to the GPS calling out directions? Finally, the driver focused on one voice in the car and made it to the destination quickly, calmly and without incident.
How many times in our own lives do we find ourselves needing to make a decision , a change. We ask friends, family, co-workers for advice. We may get conflicting answers. Whose voice do we listen to? Many voices, multiple opinions, one decision. Have we stopped to pray? To meditate on God’s word? To listen to the One voice that matters, whose direction and will we seek?
As Christians, we make many decisions throughout the day. Go here. Go there. Do this. Do that. From the minutiae to the massive, life brings many decisions of jobs, marriage, family. We need to hear from our Shepherd. He knows us. He sees us. He hears us. He cares for us. Let us make sure we are the sheep of His pasture, listening to the voice of our Shepherd. He leads, guides and directs our path when we listen to His voice. Is His voice the loudest voice you hear?
John 10:27-29 “ My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.”
