To whom do you belong?

John 10:4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

John 10:5

And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

There is something to be said about sheep that know the voice of their Sheppard. The word says above ... And a stranger will they not follow. These are some very powerful words here that let us know that Jesus looks at his sheep as sheep that are special and they according to him are worthy of ownership.

They also have certain characteristics about them, they are not like any other of the animals, they have a certain loyalty if you will, to the one that has possession of them. They don't stray away and just run after anything, they follow his voice.

My question to you is this, who has ownership of you? God will have a people that belong to him, that are set apart from the world. They won't follow after the things of the world nor look for the pleasures that this world offers in place of the joy that God gives to those that will serve him wholeheartedly.

We are to be the sheep of his pasture, that let's us know that there are those that are NOT, even though we hear folks say "well, we're all headed to the same place" my friend, that is simply NOT TRUE! Think about it, if there are sheep that knows his voice and follow him, that lets us know that there are others that are following something else.

Let's live for God and do what he would have us to do so that we can be blessed of God and be set apart here in this world and receive the reward that he will have for those that follow him. I'm sure there will also be a reward for those that don't follow him, but not one that will be liked, but then it will be too late!

Oh! how I love my Sheppard!

Praying with you in mind,
