"...the sheep hear his voice;
and
he calls his own sheep by name
and leads them out.
And
when he brings out his own sheep,
he goes before them;
and
the sheep follow him,
FOR THEY KNOW HIS VOICE."
John
10:2-4
There are so many voices in the world, teaching many
diverse things. Who is one to believe? People listen to the news
media even though they know that it is putting a slant on things in
order to have them believe a certain way. College professors spin
their agendas on young minds who generally believe what they're being
taught. Counselors insert their take on things and the weak take it
all in, not questioning whether or not the counsel is valid. Friends
hold great sway over a friend in trouble, and in his weakened state
the person with the problem will accept the advice of the trusted
friend, even when the friend is giving bad advice.
Who is one
to believe?
Jesus Christ is the shepherd of his flock, and
when one has walked with him for a long time he will know the
Shepherd's voice. When he has a problem, he will not turn to
counselors, or even to friends - he will go to the Shepherd. Only the
Shepherd knows his followers' story and history and conflicts, and he
is the ONLY ONE who can be trusted to guide him rightly. Any other
voice can be very wrong even though it seems to make perfect sense.
We are so often mislead by incorrect advice!
Saints, when you
have a need take it to the Shepherd. If you follow his lead alone,
you will be following the only one who knows exactly what you need.
Follow him and rest in confidence that he will always lead you into
the right way you should go.
