Our world is so full of noise (from media, from others) and so much is fear colored. How can we relax and trust and know the way to go? A key is in our reading today (John 10:19-42).
Jesus says again to the Jews, "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me." Ah, it is that word on listening. (Lord help me hear it this time!).
In Proverbs 1:33 the wise man says," Whoever listens to Me will dwell safely, and will be secure without fear of evil." What a comfort! You remember that earlier in Chapter 10 (verses 4-5) Jesus says that His sheep would run from a stranger's voice and not follow, but they know His voice. We know someone's voice by being attentive as we are repeatedly in their presence.
Lord, attune our ears to Your truth and words of life. Thank you that You never give up on us. Thank you for calling us to you today.
