In your mind’s eye, see and hear a shepherd calling out to his sheep, and the sheep immediately responding to it. See the sheep willingly follow their protector and provider. What an example to us from these trusting sheep! May we take this picture to heart when thinking of our Good Shepherd, who lovingly gave His life for each one of His children.
How well do you know the voice of your Shepherd? Explain.
Do you consider the choice path of your Good Shepherd to be trustworthy? Keep in mind His sacrificial love. Explain.

But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not fear, only believe." Mark 5:36
Dear Lord,
You say to each of us, "Do not fear, only believe." Then why do we seemingly hear the opposite, "Do not believe, only fear"? Convict our hearts and strengthen our faith. May we daily choose your promising truths. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
