Following Our Good Shepherd

Nov 9 – Nov 15

Like No Other

By Michael Youssef, Ph D.  11/14/20

Our Shepherd is truly like no other—He even gave His own life for us. Jesus tells us, “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep” (John 10:11).

Trust Him alone to take care of your safety, your needs, your relationships. He is never off the clock—He is always providing, always caring, and always watching over us. There is no other shepherd that compares to Him. He alone can give us the comfort and restoration that we need.

The sheep’s only responsibility is to follow the shepherd. And our Good Shepherd wants our obedience to Him. If you have been a wayward sheep, surrender to Him today. If you have been a fearful sheep, scared of the wolves that hunt you, give your anxieties to your Shepherd. Not only can He turn our lives around but He will show us the way—the safe way, the better way, the right way.

Thank the Good Shepherd for laying down His life for His sheep. Submit your life to His leadership today.

Prayer: God, You truly are like no other. Thank You, my Good Shepherd, for laying Your life down for me. Help me to follow You in obedience today. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.

“Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” (Hebrews 13:20-21).
