Which way did he go?

John 10:27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

Who are you listening to? What are you listening to? What you are pouring into your mind is shaping you and directing your life’s path. I mean this is really simple; what you are putting in is likely producing a result. Are you investing energy listening to any type of motivational material to better yourself at work, or home, or personally? Are you wrapped up in following sports to the highest degree and all you are is a walking statistician? Are you wrapped up in religion that teaches the works you must do to earn God’s favor, or one that tells you great faith brings earthly treasures such as wealth and prosperity? What you read, watch, and who you listen to shapes your every day life; you are a product of what goes in your mind. You are what you believe.

Jesus was using this understanding in the simplicity of a sheep. Sheep are not the smartest animal, let’s just leave it at that. But, they know the voice of their master; the one who cares for them, guides them, and protects them; they will follow him. They are also smart enough to NOT follow one who is not their shepherd. Sadly, we as the pinnacle of God’s creation do not have the brains of a sheep sometime and follow those who seek to destroy us. John 10:10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. The only way that you are going to know who to follow is for God to open your eyes and mind through your heart. You must invest yourself is the pursuit of Him in prayer and his Word (the Bible) daily. Every, single, day that you do not, you are cracking the door of your heart for a thief that is in this world to come in. All it takes is some smooth sounding message of false hope that tickles your ears into believing you can have all this world can give you. You begin to measure your life by worldly standards. You are to live your life with eternity in mind; you are to live this life for the afterlife.

My heart has always been in this ministry to urge you to spend daily time with God. There are no words of mine that will change your life. Next to the message of Jesus Christ of salvation, there is nothing else I wish to share with you other that you pursing God daily in prayer and his Word. If you will do that one thing, every day, you will hear His voice clearly and follow him wherever he leads you. You will become a living example of forgiveness and faith, and He will lead others to himself through your life. You don’t want to unknowingly be a thief or a robber leading others astray to you? Then get into God’s presence today in prayer and the Bible and follow him wherever he leads yo
