My sheep know My voice is the assurance of their Shepherd (Psalm 23:1). “4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me” (John 10:4, 27 KJV). The owner of the sheep imprints the sound of his voice on his sheep. This assures both the owner and the sheep that they belong together. No thief can accurately imitate that voice or plunder those sheep. The goal is not to build a system to protect the sheep, but to promote the sound of their Master’s Voice so the sheep will be wedded to their Master’s side. Father, You are the Gate Keeper, who established Your Son as the Shepherd and Bishop of our souls. May we the sheep follow no other than our Good Shepherd. Lord Jesus, return quickly that we may follow You home. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
