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.

Do you consider the choice path of your Good Shepherd to be trustworthy? Keep in mind His sacrificial love. Explain.
Write a prayer using the above verses as a reference.
Shout with joy to God, all the earth! Sing glory of his name; make his praise glorious! Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds! So great in power that your enemies cringe before you. All the earth bows down to you; they sing praise to you, they sing praise to your name." Psalm 66: 1-4
Dear Lord,
Help each one of us to take part in your chorus of praise. Give us a joyful thought of a tangible provision that has come from your generous hand. And then may we repeat this practice again and again, In Jesus' Name, Amen.
