One thing I’ve been struggling with is recognizing God’s voice and being sure of it. You already know that God’s laid it on my heart to set my eyes off of India… to quit looking over my shoulders, and to start laying down my roots here in America.

Human as I am, I cannot help but ask – What if I’m wrong? What if that voice is mine and not of the Lord? I think I feel that way because I don’t see ANYTHING! I don’t see anything working even remotely in my favor. So possibly my second-guessing isn’t so much about being unsure of God’s voice, but that my faith isn’t properly anchored.

Anyway, as I was thinking about this and wondering if I recognize the Lord or not, I felt the Spirit remind me of this verse – “He who enters by the door is a shepherd of the sheep. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he puts forth all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice” ~ John 10:2-4

I thought about those verses. If I know my Lord, I should know His voice. And I definitely know my Lord, my Savior, and my Father. I know my Daddy! I know His voice. I just need to trust what He is saying, in faith. At the end of the day, “Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen” ~ Hebrews 11:1

In closing I have to say – I lift my eyes up, my help comes from the Lord!
