Connected to His Voice

3To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. John 10:3-5

Are you connected to God's voice? What are you listening to? The other day I woke up and thoughts consumed my mind. I was ready to act on what my mind wanted to do in the day. But as I committed to my plans I realized how fretful I was. I had no peace and was looking for answers to why I felt so emotionally unstable. I went to pray and God showed me I had not come to Him with my plans. God had placed something on my heart to get the day before so I thought when I woke up that I was to go get it right away. But as I prayed God showed me that I needed to do other things first and when I finished them I would then be ready for it. As I received His word I received peace. I received understanding and His voice cleared my mind of my plans and aligned me back to His plan.

Everytime that happens I wonder why I don't pray more often. Why do I wait until I am unstable to take my concerns to God? God wants us to know His voice so that we can life and not die. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Romans 8:6 God voice leads us into life and peace our voice leads us to death. Failure is connected to our plans but Victory is connected to His plan. If we want to walk victoriously in this world we must live according to His voice. It is our life source. Take your cares to God, Take your questions to God, Take your brokeness to God, Take your life to God. He won't fail you. God loves you. Open your ears to His loving voice. He is speaking we just have to listen. God bless you.
