The Word and voice of God, written in the Bible and spoken through His people, is always adhered to by faithful Christians, who are being brought into the fold daily, as His sheep, even as Jesus Christ remains the Good and True Shepherd who never forsakes His flock (Ps. 23:1-4, John 10:11 & 27). This makes us blessed amongst men, who excel in the strength of the LORD as we keep heeding His voice by doing His good pleasure and delighting in His presence (Psalm 103:20-21).
Every true sheep in the fold of Christ will remain focused, obeying Him at all times but never listening to the deceptive antics of the Accuser who only walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he can devour (John 10:16, 1Peter 5:8). This way, we work in the Spirit, fulfilling our Christ's Calling as we flee evil and continuously advance God's Kingdom, bearing fruits that remain, for His glory - subduing the works of the wicked, to the praise of God, who has gone before us to make the Way for us (1 Tim. 6:11).
PRAYER: In Jesus' Name, thank You, LORD, the Good Shepherd whom I follow, God's Savior of my soul, for I am blessed to remain in Your fold - dwelling among Your flocks, exalting Your Name on high. Please keep me living in the comfort of Your guidance like a Mother ewe who calls to her lambs, so that I may also bring others to the only loving God, even as a fruitful branch who is followed back to the True Vine,
Amen.
From John 10:4-5
