Follow Him. He is the Good Shepherd

When you are going to a new destination, it is often scary. Relying on maps doesn't always get you there without getting lost. I've often had to travel out of state. To avoid getting lost and arriving late, I downloaded directions from randmcnally and mapquest. What happened? I still got lost. Why? Places change. New developments are built and new streets are added. Map creators are not always aware of these new roads.

With God, you don't have to worry. Even if you go off the right path, he will wait for you to find your way back. He will lead you and guide you through rough terrain and gently prod you back to your destination.

Why not let God be the Good Shepherd? Follow him, he will keep you safe from harm and on the right track....

Here's The Good Shepherd by Yolanda Adams.



Scriptures for Your Day

John 10:11 (New International Version)
"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

John 10:14 (New International Version)
"I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me—

Psalm 23 (New International Version)

Psalm 23
A psalm of David.
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,

3 he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.

4 Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death, [a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

6 Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
