John 10:27 (NKJV) 27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
Jesus spoke very plainly in this verse, stating that His sheep would hear His voice and follow Him.
Notice that He didn’t lay down any special conditions for not hearing Him. He mentioned no exceptions and made no excuses for not doing so.
You see, it’s up to us to, first of all, know His voice. We have to spend enough time with Him to know Him, who He is, how He speaks.
Second, we need to learn and understand how to hear Him; how to discern His voice in the midst of all of the noise; the spiritual clutter that we encounter each and every day.
Finally, we need to be sure to follow Him. As our Shepherd, He is faithful to lead us.
None of this is particularly complicated. But it does require us to make a commitment to do it. And once we make that commitment, we need to stick to it.
What’s really awesome, though, is that when we do stick to it, and we put forth the effort, the return (for lack of a better word) is well worth the effort.
Nothing beats knowing Him, hearing Him and following Him.
