Call it what you want...blog, journal, lessons, daily devotional...all are accurate. I hope that my occasional messages prove valuable today, and tomorrow, will be cherished.
Yet you know, even the words of the Master were misunderstood by some, ignored by many, and resisted and resented by others. The Lord explained that His message would set at variance the unlikely and even breakup families. Matthew 10:34
He uses the analogy of sheep and a shepherd. This was something very familiar to the common people of that day and significant because a shepherd was the sheep's best friend. The shepherd protected the sheep from danger, fed and nourished them, and brought them home from pasture. The shepherd did not put himself above the sheep; on the contrary, he lived and if necessary died for his sheep. The one person the sheep could count on was their shepherd.
More than just a story, we know the Good Shepherd's voice. Through Him we have life more abundantly. John 10:10
Even during times of difficulty, there is but one fold and One Shepherd.
He knows and is known of His sheep.
