John 10:4

"When He has brought out all His own, He goes before them, and the sheep follow Him, for they know His voice."

A few months ago I was having a hard time with discerning God's voice. I had someone explain it to me very simply. How do we recognize our parent's voices? By spending time with them. We know our friends when they call because we have heard their voice and gotten used to it. The same goes for God's voice. I will follow the voice that I know. In the rest of John 10 it talks about false prophets or leaders, who want to take us away from God. Away from the truth of who He is and what He wants to do for us. It amazes me how close I get to giving up on God. I think the trial that I am going through is just too hard, that He wouldn't understand. When in reality, all I have to do is listen and I will be able to hear His voice. I must spend time with Him though and be ready to flee from those that are trying to lead me astray. So it is that today I plan on listening to His voice. I plan on following Him with my whole heart. Not allowing any things or people to tempt me into another direction. I want His voice to be the Only One that I hear!!!!!
