Re: Verse reading–John 10:1-21 (day four)
Happy New Year! If you planned to do something in 2014, you are too late! New Year’s is traditionally a time to start over…to do new things…to make course corrections. John tells us in chapter 10 that good things happen when the sheep follow the shepherd. Anyone other than the shepherd is there to steal, kill, and destroy. The shepherd protects the sheep, provides for the sheep and lays down his life for the sheep. Jesus says that if His sheep enter through His door, they will be saved…they will find rest and provision. Jesus has the authority to bring about these new things in our lives. Only our shepherd can do them. As you consider those New Year’s resolutions, allow the Good Shepherd to direct your steps. He will give you protection and find you green pastures. Only He can do it.
