Sheep
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: John 10:27, ESV
My hubby and I were out taking a walk and we came upon some sheep that were grazing on the grass. We stood for a while just watching the sheep and the goats moving about. There were quite a few lambkins that were also present. Many of them were making all kinds of noises. However, we noticed one sheep that came running over to be next to a little lamb. We knew instantly that was it’s mother.
My husband and I chatted about how that lambkin knew it’s mother’s voice outside of all the other sheep's noises. After that we stopped by a store to pick up some items from the pharmacy. While we were waiting I remembered that my auntie's birthday was coming up so I went to get her a birthday card. As I started heading over that way a thought came to me that I had birthday cards at home. So I went to sit back down, but then I felt like I still needed to go look at birthday cards. When I got over there I found the perfect one for my auntie. It said, “Happy Birthday Auntie” and it described her perfectly! I was so happy that we bought the card!
Then the Holy Spirit said to me, “The first voice you heard was me telling you to purchase the card and you immediately started to follow my instructions. Just like the sheep heard it’s mother and went straight to her. Then the enemy came along and tried to steal the simple instructions I had given to you. You paused and stopped, but I came back to you again and you followed me.” Satan is always looking to steal a word from us, even if it is as simple as purchasing a card. God is always teaching us how to hear his voice and recognize when we are being distracted.
The passage above says, “My sheep hear my voice, I know them and they follow me.”
Key points:
The first instructions are aways from God.
The second voice is the enemy trying to steel the word away from you.
Affirmations: Matthew 10:20; Luke 24:32; Ephesians 6:19, Isaiah 55:11
