The Shepherds voice

 

Morning meditation.

“My sheep hear my voice and I know them”

I have thought about the continuing hunger for Bibles. For example, Asia Harvest print more than a million Bibles each year for the people of China, and yet they want more! At our market stall we distribute 10-20 Bibles on each occasion. Why the hunger for this book?

It is not so much the history or the commandments. Rather it is the innate longing to hear the voice of God – and hear the voice of God we can. God still speaks to those who take the time to listen!

Unbelief despises the book, but for those with an open mind and open heart, it is a living book, made real by the Holy Spirit. From beginning to end, one can hear the shepherds voice.

The Great Shepherd says, “I know them and they follow Me”.  What a joy it is, instead of sailing alone, to enter the door of the fold and become one of His sheep. His protection, His provision, His promises, His fellowship, His pledge of eternal life all by grace through knowing Him.”

Following the Shepherd is not a matter of duty, rather it is the natural response of love. Many things seek to distract us, but His voice, His seeking love calls us to Himself.

Bibles are available, in many languages.
