The Shepherd's Voice
The Shepherd's Voice
A sample of Daily Encounter by Dick Innes
"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me."1
A party of tourists was on its way to Palestine and their guide was describing some of the customs of the East.
He was explaining how in England, for example, a shepherd follows the sheep, but in the East the shepherd leads the way and the sheep follow him for they know his voice.
When the tourist group reached Palestine, one of the first sights they saw was a flock of sheep not being led by the shepherd but being driven along by the man. The guide, being perplexed, stopped to talk to the shepherd.
"How is it that you are driving these sheep?" he asked. "I have always been told that the Eastern shepherd leads his sheep."
"You are quite right, sir," replied the man. "The shepherd does lead his sheep. But you see I'm not the shepherd. I'm the butcher."2
With so many religious voices today vying for the hearts and minds of adherents, we need to be certain that we know Jesus, the true Shepherd, recognize his voice and follow him. Remember that there are many false prophets that are nothing but "butchers" in sheep's clothing.
Suggested prayer: "Dear God, help me to know for certain that I am committed to Jesus, the true Shepherd. Help me never to stray from him, always know his voice, and follow him. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus' name, amen."
1. John 10:27 (KJV).
