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

            There are many voices in the world.  The hard condemning voice that reminds you of all your
faults and sins, and tells of God’s displeasure with you, is not the voice of God. There is no sound sweeter than the voice of our loving God.  I hunger to hear His voice.  I love His Word.  He speaks loving sounds in my heart each day. His voice sounds like the Word of God.

The Voice of God

Precious are those that hear God’s voice of correction.
So valued are the words; you will not forget them.
The wise know the difference between the Spirit and the one who condemns.
One tears down hope, the other builds up strong again.
Evil’s drip, drip, drip causes inner irritation;
God gently prods into repentance; drawing to the One that died to save them.
The harsh voice that grates and causes fraction,
It is only quieted by a faith’s calm and peaceful reaction.
Oh listening-ear; receive what the Spirit speaks today;
Handle your reactions with God’s ability when you pray.
With His strength you silence the enemy that causes division;
To listen for God’s voice, and to abide in Him, it is your decision.

Prayer
Lord, help me always to measure the words I hear with the Word of God.  I know You are continuously on my side, and are willing and ready to forgive me always.  Help me to stay calm and sure of Your love, Chase away the anxiety and fear when the hard words of the world begin to sound loud in my life.
