Words of Encouragement

 

November - 26 - 2006

 

The goal of our walk with Jesus is to come to know Him as our shepherd just as intimately as He knows the Father. A key thing for us to remember: In a world where so many people want to attract our attention and are willing to give us advice, we can refuse their voice. We listen to Jesus because He has shown his love for us by laying down His life for us. He is not a hireling, He is the Good Shepherd.

The Scripture reading is from John 10:14-15.

14 I am the good shepherd, and I know My sheep, and am known by My own.
15 As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father: and I lay down My life for the sheep.

Let us pray.

Holy Father, You are wonderful and generous beyond description. You have shown Your love by sending Your Son to be our Shepherd. Help us hear His voice through your Word. Help us hear His voice through the wise counsel of spiritual friends. Help us hear His voice through the words sung to us by our brothers and sisters when we are assembled. Help us hear His voice in the Holy Spirit's work on our conscience. Father, we want to follow your Son as our Shepherd and Lord because we know He, like You, is good!

In the name of my Shepherd and Lord we pray.

Amen.
