"When He has brought out all His own, He goes before them, and the sheep follow Him, for they know His voice."
John 10:4
With reference to an earlier post (http://sparksablaze.blogspot.
Well yesterday morning as I stepped out of the house, I saw the bus coming again, and yes my first instinct was to bolt as fast as I could towards to the bus stop. But I remembered what happened last time and so this time as I took a couple of steps , I stopped and looked at the bus driver and guess what ? The bus stopped and I got in ! Lesson learnt from last time. And so this time I did things differently. Pretty happy about that :)
We read that the sheep know His voice. When we know His voice and we listen to Him, the way we do things changes. There is growth ! As we seek Him , as we read His word , as we draw closer to Him we become so familiar to His voice and so familiar to HIs ways that its no longer our ways but His ways that become a pattern in our life. There is a transformation that happens within us as we draw closer to Him. And it does get translated into actions. Our life styles are different, the way we do things and react to things are different , our priorities are different... With every day there needs to be growth , old ways need to fade away.
We read in Romans 12: 2, "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."
Here the word "testing" basically means "putting into actual practice". As we listen to His voice and renew our minds and actually put into practice following as He leads, living out loud His word we understand His will and what is good and acceptable and perfect
Have a wonderful blessed day and weekend as we listen to His voice and put into practice His way and His word.
God Bless
