Morning by Morning, November 3, 2025 – “My Sheep Hear My Voice.”
Good morning, Lord Jesus. My Lord, my Savior, my Good Shepherd who voice I seek to hear and follow and obey. ...
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me” (John 10:27).
“My sheep.” I belong to You. I am Yours and You are mine (Song of Solomon 6:3). I’m “bought with a price,” by the blood of the Lamb (1 Corinthians 6:20), so that my heart is Your home and my body is the temple of Your Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19).
“Hear My voice.” I’m created for deeply intimate, personal fellowship with You. Not just to know about You in my head, but also to hear You in my heart. Not just to get with You every now and then, but to live so near to You in every moment of every day that I can recognize Your voice. Then I can distinguish Your voice from the voice of any other, including my own voice from my own thoughts, and including the voices coming from the enemy of my soul. Knowing You and hearing Your voice, “(I) will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him” (John 10:5).
“I know them.” You know all about me. And yet You love me. You know every hair on my head, every desire of my heart, every need in my life (Luke 12:7). You’ve known me from all eternity — from eternity past to eternity future and right here, right now in the eternity of now. “You formed my inward parts. You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made” by You (Psalm 139:13-14).
“They follow Me.” The test of knowing that I know You and You know me, that I truly hear Your voice as one of Your sheep, is that I follow You. Even in as much grace as we have, You said our obedience to You is the measure of our love for You. “If you love Me, keep My commandments” (John 14:15). Our obedience flows out of our identity in You as sons and daughters of God our Father and as disciples of Jesus Christ our Lord by the power of the Holy Spirit of the Living God living and moving in our hearts. “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10). You’ve left us “an example, that (we) should follow “Your” steps” (1 Peter 2:21). “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God” (Romans 8:14).
So I begin my day positioning myself here in this place of communion in prayer, seeking Your face, listening for Your voice, in the assurance of knowing You and knowing You know me. As I rise, give me the grace to keep in constant communion with You — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God — obeying what I hear and following where You lead. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
