Think About It
RCA Victor once used an old recording logo that showed a dog listening at a megaphone-type speaker with the words, “His Master’s Voice.”^® In the same way, we – as the sheep in today’s verses – should know the voice of the true shepherd.

He speaks, and we hear the Master’s voice. We follow him as Lord, and him alone.

Pray About It
Please God, give me a heart to follow only Jesus and an ear to recognize any impostor that might seek to steal away my heart from my Lord. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
