“ Know that the LORD, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.”

In Ezekiel – And you are my sheep, human sheep of my pasture, and I am your God, declares the Lord GOD.” what does it mean to be His sheep? God’s word says that His sheep hear his voice and follow Him. How do we hear His voice and follow what God is saying? A good place to start is in His word with a heart and soul deep desire to hear Him speak truth into your life. Another place is to be in fellowship with others who have this desire. There are so many things in this word that pull us away and water down our commitment to listen and follow Him. It takes strength and courage and commitment (Desire) to humbly serve, honor, follow and obey Him. Like they say when is the best time to plant a tree – 30 years ago, the second best time is today. Today is a good day to fully commit to Him.
