When you are trying to make a decision, how do you determine if God is guiding you or if someone/something on earth is pushing you in a certain direction? I often struggle with this issue and have been known to say, "I'm sure that's what God wants me to do," even though deep in my heart I am unsure.
Today's reading and scriptures remind us that the sheep know the master's voice - and thus we should know our Master's voice! The passage from Ephesians has some ways to do that such as to live a peaceful life, be patient, humble, and gentle - and serve others by bearing their burdens.
As part of my training in spiritual direction, I also know that I MUST spend quiet time with my Lord, listening for His voice - and also studying His Word. What are ways that you discern the voice of our Lord over the many voices we hear on earth?
