Are you missing out? Here is a more literal translation for today’s
English.
The sheep that are My own hear and are listening to My voice; and I know
them, and they follow Me.
As in always here and constantly listening and heeding and always following.
We in affluent countries are missing the mark, as we are too entangled in the
day to day affairs to worship God, give him thanks, follow his word
consistently and recognize that He alone is our source.
Many never hear his voice, some are uncertain as they do not know his
voice.Yet they will hear the voices telling them, why not drive into that
concrete pillar, or wall, or dive off a cliff. And that voice may come out of
the blue when you least expect it. Some know that is not really their
thoughts as everything if going decently, some don’t and they might
entertain those thoughts especially when the come more frequently, or if you
are in a painful situation. Be not deceived, that is the voice of the evil
one, not yours. He only seeks you to add to his pile of ones he has stolen
from God.
Jas 4:8-10 (KJV)
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanseyour hands, ye
sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning,
and your joy to heaviness.
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
