The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep recognize his voice and come to him.
He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
Divine Providence supplies us with The Father's plan for us to enact, while also ensuring that we receive all that we will ever need to implement God's programme for our well being.
But you must continue to believe this truth and stand firmly in it. Don’t drift away from the assurance you received when you heard the Good News. The Good News has been preached all over the world, and I, Paul, have been appointed as God’s servant to proclaim it.
~ Colossians 1:23
In our moments of deepest silence when peace enters our orbit we begin to hear the voice of Our Saviour speaking to us from within our thoughts inviting us to listen to all that will encourage us to do that which He asks of us. Those periods of contemplation, or meditation reward us with the awareness that The Spirit of God is inviting us to open the door of our life for Him to enter and lead us through our life's story.
In my own experience there is a daily plan providing me with all that The Father asks of me, thus ensuring that I am faithful to all that Our Father expects of me, when He in His turn delivers on all that He has promised me. This Covenant between us remains the foundation of our growing friendship refreshed day, after day encouraging my deepening trust in His loving support for my well being.
“The human soul is not the seeker but the sought: it is God who seeks, who descends from the other world to find and heal Man; the parable about the Good Shepherd looking for and finding the lost sheep sums it up.” ~ Edmund Spenser
