John 10:27-28 (KJV)

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

 

Do you hear His voice?  When you are alone, or in the middle of a valley, do you hear His loving voice? Do you recognize Him? And if so, do you follow Him?

Jesus is giving us a directive in this verse, He is stating with certainty that those who hear Him, are His sheep. Those who follow Him, shall have eternal life, and they shall never perish. He promises that nothing can pluck us away from Him or His hands.

That statement from Jesus our LORD and Savior brings an emergence of comfort to those who believe and follow Him. Joy fills the souls of those who know the truth and it has set them free. Free from the crippling effects of troublesome emotions such as anxiety, fear, worry…when we have God in our corner, we are under the “Helmet of protection” from Christ and the Almighty Father.”

There are certain advantages to being a faithful follower, such as living a life filled with “blessings” and love from above. One that is according to God’s will and purpose for our lives, and His plan is always the best one for us. Even when we can’t see the immediate results. The long-term plan of the LORD is always the best plan.

Do you hear His voice?

Listen, He’s calling…

“Father, thank You for calling me and for providing me with Your love and provisions that are never ending, may I do all according to Your plan, today, tomorrow and always, in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
