Chosen in His Service

Where can I flee from Your Spirit?

God is always calling us back to Him .

"My sheep recognize my voice; I know them, and they follow me. " John 10:27
Our Good Shepherd, Jesus promises that we can hear and know His voice. This , however, need not be some mysterious, mystical process. In fact, God speaks to you quite often. The Good Shepherd knows not only your name (John 10:3), but your nature.

Yes, God speaks—but we do not always like what He says. Have you sensed the conviction of the Holy Spirit when you were in a relationship or a place you did not belong? At times, God's Holy Spirit whispers in the stillness of your heart, "What are you doing here?"

How else can we know when God is speaking to us?

And once we have heard God's voice, what should we do? Jesus calls, we responds. He whispers, we move. We follow—and then we keep on listening.
