Know His Voice

Bible in a Year:

• Joshua 19–21
• Luke 2:25–52

I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me.

John 10:14

One year for vacation Bible school, Ken’s church decided to bring in live animals to illustrate the Scripture. When he arrived to help, Ken was asked to bring a sheep inside. He had to practically drag the wooly animal by a rope into the church gymnasium. But as the week went on, it became less reluctant to follow him. By the end of the week, Ken didn’t have to hold the rope anymore; he just called the sheep and it followed, knowing it could trust him.

In the New Testament, Jesus compares Himself to a shepherd, stating that His people, the sheep, will follow Him because they know His voice (John 10:4). But those same sheep will run from a stranger or thief (v. 5). Like sheep, we (God’s children) get to know the voice of our Shepherd through our relationship with Him. And as we do, we see His character and learn to trust Him.

As we grow to know and love God, we’ll be discerning of His voice and better able to run from the “the thief [who] comes only to steal and kill and destroy” (v. 10)—from those who try to deceive and draw us away from Him. Unlike those false teachers, we can trust the voice of our Shepherd to lead us to safety.

Reflect & Pray

What’s one thing you’ve learned about God’s character through reading Scripture? How did that impact you? What will help you to discern God’s voice?

Heavenly Father, thank You for being my loving Shepherd. Help me to recognize and follow Your voice only.

Greetings to all at the Canteen!

To all our military men and women, past and present,

THANK YOU
for your service!

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

I hope Hump Day has been good to you and you’ll have a little free time to unwind this evening.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

We made it through hump day...for me, just barely. 😋

Hope you are on schedule for your week.

[radu]

Howdy, PRO!

Thanks for the link. It’s a very beautiful rendition.

[PROCON]

Hi radu!

Beautiful rendition indeed.

'Sup your way, nothing really to report on my end, lazy day.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Biggirl...did you make it safely through hump day?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...did you have some nice sunshine so you and Penny could get out and walk?

They say is should start snowing this evening and ALL NIGHT AND ALL DAY tomorrow! I’ll believe it when I see it, but I’m ready for winter to be over. I already have a yard full of snow that will take forever to melt.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, lightman, and a happy bicentennial of Greek Independence Day (tomorrow).

Thank goodness hump day is over! I wasn’t sure I would make it. Rough week...

Has spring arrived to stay? No more winter weather to sneak up on you?

[radu]

Just finishing supper and getting ready to grab more stuff from the big garage to price for the yard sale this weekend.

IF we don’t get blown away tomorrow. NOT looking good weather-wise here. Every weather report looks uglier than the previous one. I’m not easily spooked by stormy weather but this time, I am.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hey there, Pro...WE have to do the remembering and honoring. Others don’t care or are hostile. *sigh*

[Kathy in Alaska]

OK...why is my monitor so fuzzy? What a fantastic rendition from those young girls.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu...hope you had a good and fruitful day. Sunny and warm?

As of this evening the skies get lower and lower, and they say snow is coming for tonight and tomorrow.
