Our Sheppard

I am with you. I am with you. I am with you. Heaven’s bells continually peal with that promise of My Presence. Some people never hear those bells because their minds are earthbound and their hearts are closed to Me. Others hear the bells only once or twice in their lifetimes, in rare moments of seeking Me above all else. My desire is that My “sheep” hear My voice continually, for I am the ever-present Shepherd.

Quietness is the classroom where you learn to hear My voice. Beginners need a quiet place in order to still their minds. As you advance in this discipline, you gradually learn to carry the stillness with you wherever you go.When you step back into the mainstream of life, strain to hear those glorious bells: I am with you. I am with you. I am with you.

Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.- JEREMIAH 29:12–13

“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me… My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand.”- JOHN 10:14, 27–28

How often do you go to the Lord and seek His guidance? Do you reach out to Him only when you lose your job? Do you question Him only when someone is sick? Why do we do that? Why do we only seek God's presence when something negative happens to us? We should be "needing" God ALL THE TIME. It is an ongoing process so it will take time, but we shall become less self dependent and more God dependent.

God is our Sheppard. He created us, He leads us and He knows the life path we will take. When we open our hearts, minds and ears to His message we receive eternal life with our Sheppard. If we listen to the other around us and the devil pulling us down, we are bound to fall of our Sheppard's path.

Turn to God today for the good and the bad. Come to Him in silence willing to listen to His every word. He is with us always, not just when something negative happens to our lives. He wants to lead us down the path to His everlasting kingdom, heaven.
