John 10: 27 “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”
Dear God,
I am awed and thankful, that You are above all, and totally good and pure, and absolutely care to save we erring wandering people or ‘sheep’. Today sadly I know, that there are people who put themselves ‘above’ just simply believing Your words and works of the supernatural, allowing instead, their Godless education and positions to blind them to You and Your works; which are all around them.
Please dear God, accept me again today, and fill me with a simple faith and acceptance of You into my heart and life, so that I am always one of Your ‘sheep’; hearing Your words and believing them and therefore following to any place You may lead me. Sadly like the priests we can think we are believers and walking in Your way; and instead be following our own idea’s or a wrong interpretation of You that suits a human slant upon things that does not involve a searching of heart or humbly putting You first. Please reveal to me, if this is so for me, in any area of my life, and I know in Your strength and by believing Your promises, I can change. Hallelujah that is good news, for in no way do I want to be deluded or a hypocrite.
I may not have wealth or prestige, but my Saviour did not either, and He does not necessarily promise them; even though some can be trusted with them and still be able to follow You with their whole heart. Dear Jesus, during Your time on earth, You promised to give peace to all Your ‘sheep’, and that gift is more valuable to me, than wealth or prestige. I thank You for hearing my prayer and granting me this gift many times when I have been disquieted.
I also value the hope and promises within John 10: 28 – 30. From my reading, I believe that all Your true ‘sheep’ will be given eternal life and no one or entity can snatch me away from Your care. You, God have given all ‘sheep’ to Jesus V 29 “My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.” It is evident God that You and Your Son are one in purpose and deed V30 “I and my Father are one.”
Today I gladly commit myself to You the Father and Jesus, the Son, to follow as my shepherd.
Amen
