Sheep are fascinating animals. Non-aggressive and docile, they seem to be oblivious to everything around them. Yet, when surrounded by a cacophony of noise, they can distinguish their shepherd's voice and go to it. As we develop the skill of listening to God, we will learn to pay such careful attention to His voice that we will recognize it above the imposters - those voices that tempt us to follow sin instead of holiness.
Sadly, Eve listened to Satan; Adam listened to Eve; and then both had to listen to God's rebuke and the terrible consequences of their choices. There are times when wrong voices deceive us and tempt us to follow, too, but by pouring God's Word into our heart and minds, our spiritual ears will be trained to hear only His voice above all the rest.
My sheep know my voice. . . . I did not when Satan came in the form of macwill....and i suffer the terrible consequences of my choice.
Shepherd, give me ears to hear..........
