Judah had received a “warning shot” meant to wake them up and help them see their need for God and His protection. Instead, many called on their mediums and wizards to tell them what to do. Could it be that America, too, has had a series of “warning shots”? Have we, instead of turning to God, turned to our own mediums and wizards? What will we, ultimately, do as a nation? Will we repent and turn back to God or will we continue on a path of rebellion against Him?
Do you know the voice of God? Would you recognize it if He were speaking truth into your life? Or could you confuse your emotions… your desires… or even the voice of the enemy for His? Jesus said His sheep know His voice. That’s a wonderful promise—but how does that actually work? How do believers grow in spiritual discernment? And why do some people seem to recognize truth while others are easily deceived? Today, we’re going to look at Jesus as the Good Shepherd and discover a surprising connection between knowing God’s voice, following Him, and learning to recognize voices that are not His.
Why are we told that God will use our trials for good? What if someone has hurt us terribly or meant it for evil? What good can possibly come from those kinds of trials? And what is required of us for good to come from them? Also, why is it so important to guard what we put into our hearts and minds? And what did Jesus mean when He called us to “take up our cross” and follow Him? We’ll look at these important subjects in today’s post.
