14th Day of Advent
Written by: Ken Schuster
Reading: John 10:14-15
“ I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me—-- just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—- and I lay down my life for the sheep.”
John 10: 14-15
The words in John 10:14-15 "I am the shepherd that cares for the sheep (people). I know my sheep like the Father knows me. And my sheep know me like I know the Father. I give my life for these sheep." quickly take my mind to the 23rd Psalm where we acknowledge with happiness that "The Lord is my shepherd".
In both verses we see Jesus caring for and about us, ministering to us and taking us before the Father as his own. Think of how much He does for us and all he asks is that we proclaim Him as our shepherd; that we listen to his voice as it guides us through our daily lives; simply that we look up and say "yes, Lord. Thy will be done.”
PRAYER:
Lord Jesus, guide us as we travel through our day. Lead us so that we may do your will and not worry about our will. Help us to remember that you will always be there to provide for us if we will just listen. Amen.
