Good Morning!
We are living in perilous times, and the noise around us grows louder by the day. Confusion spreads easily when leaders speak without wisdom, when voices rise that stir unrest, and when lies are packaged as truth.
In a world overflowing with opinions, agendas, and spiritual counterfeits, there is only one voice that leads to life: the voice of the True Shepherd.
Yet if we are honest, many of us struggle to recognize His voice. Not because He is silent, but because we have grown accustomed to the unfamiliar voices around us. Isaiah reminds us that “we all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us turning to our own way.” When we drift, the Shepherd’s voice becomes faint not absent, but unfamiliar.
Hearing God clearly is not automatic; it is cultivated. It takes practice, intention, and a heart that is willing to slow down long enough to listen. Sheep learn the shepherd’s voice by proximity by staying close, watching, following, and trusting. The same is true for us.
Now more than ever, we must anchor ourselves in prayer and immerse ourselves in God’s Word. Scripture trains our spiritual ears. Prayer softens our hearts. Obedience sharpens our discernment. The more time we spend with Him, the more quickly we recognize when a voice is not His.
Do not be fooled by the noise. Do not be swayed by the chaos. Draw near to the Shepherd who goes before you, who calls you by name, and who leads you into truth, peace, and safety.
Today, make it your intention to listen not to the loudest voice, but to the right one. His voice is steady. His voice is sure. His voice will never lead you astray.
