John 10:27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. This is very encouraging because it is a sure way, in experience, that we can know that we are one of His sheep. We hear His voice. This can come in different ways--but most of us can recall clearly when we first heard His voice when He 'saved' us. I still small voice in the mind, a conviction of sin by the Spirit, a word of caution or a clear word of instruction. At some time and at some point, you heard His voice. Be encouraged and joyous. The Good Shepherd speaks and we hear. He is more than capable of opening our ears according to His will. Have an ear out always---and listen. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord bless YES! This is why we need the Good Shepherd. Even an earthly shepherd is several orders of magnitude greater than the sheep. How much more is this true of us and the Good Shepherd? He is a very 'Good' shepherd. Rom. 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sheppard leads the flock to good grass. Our grass is the word of God and. We are lead by the holy spirit. He opens all things to our understanding. He fights against the wolves for us. And his Angel's help us like sheep dogs protect the sheep. Jesus feeds us the word of God which abides forever. Is not Jesus such a good shepherd ? The best of the best. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
