Sheep of His pasture

“ 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.

Judgement Day is Coming

“Our God comes; he does not keep silence; before him is a devouring fire, around him a mighty tempest.”

“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.”

“But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed.”

“This is a clear sign to them of their destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God.”

Such great scripture today to keep in mind the urgency to proclaim salvation through Christ to the lost.  The day of judgement is coming, a time when there will no longer be any time to change your heart and mind to believe in and humbly serve, honor, follow and obey God.  This day will come when people least expect and much like those who’s lives are cut short by death.  Always thinking there is another day, another time to fully commit and trust God.  Let each of us be willing to be used by God and shine the light of His grace, mercy and love.
