Whose Voice Are We Following?

“My sheep hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me.” - John 10:27

Many years ago now, back when my children were little and I was still a young parent, a professional colleague talked to me about the way she had raised her children.

She told them was never going to yell and scream to get their attention. No matter what was going on, no matter what else they were doing, they needed to be attuned to the sound of her voice.

I never met her children. I don’t know if she had really followed her own advice in raising her children. But I was immediately stuck by how sound a spiritual principle this was.

There’s a lot of noise and chaos and confusion around us in this world. The voices of fear, and anger, and resentment, and greed, and lust, and false pride are always whispering and sometimes screaming in our ears.

We have to tune these voices out and attune ourselves to the voice of the shepherd. We must always ask whose voice we are following.
