Being Led...
Monday, November 06, 2006
Right now I kind of feel like my dog. No, I am not white, furry, and eight pounds of cuteness. I feel like my dog when I leashed trained him. He was so cute, but being so new to the world, just didn't want to go which ever way that little rope wanted him to go. Now as I feel God's leading and myself resisting, I wonder if he was just as scared as I am now. It's not that I don't want to do as God plans, it is only that I am not perfect like the Lord and can only see the present, leaving the future unknown and yes a little frightening. I am sure anyone reading this has felt the same way and I am not alone. This brings me to my message for today.
In John 10:27 Jesus says "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me." Do you consider yourself as one of His sheep? If you believe in Him, then He considers you one of His sheep. Do you feel as if your being led a certain direction at this point in your life? I am sure that you do. A person can not stay in the same place at all times. Change has to happen, it is inevitable. So what changes do you feel that God wants you to make, because of course He makes known to you what you should do. The Lord wouldn't expect you to follow His voice if He wasn't speaking. He knows you, everything about you. We are told this so many times and so many ways, such as Jesus saying He knows all the hairs of our heads, but how can it be any simpler then in John 10:27. We are His sheep, He speaks to us, knows us, and the faithful sheep follow.
So, having said all that, I will bring this little blog to a close. I know it can be difficult to make some changes no matter how much trust you have in God. It is difficult for me. I just pray that you will take comfort in the fact that God's plan can be nothing but perfect. Thanks for reading. :)
