This extensive list reminds us that God has been working as a wonder-working God throughout history. He has baptized His chosen messengers with the Holy Spirit so they could receive and share His truth. As we look at these accounts, we can see that "the dealings of God with His people should be often repeated" so we do not forget the history of the past. If you would like to know how to distinguish the voice of the Good Shepherd in your own life today, please let me know 🙏!
