RSA Lockdown // Season 2 // Day 3 // 19 April
John 10:14 reads, “I am the good shepherd.”
A shepherd is tasked to look after and take care of his sheep. He also has the responsibility to lead the sheep into good pastures. A shepherd protects and guides his sheep into safe and spacious places.
I am so grateful to be locked down with Jesus, the Good Shepherd during this time of no clarity, no order, no direction and complete confusion. The Jesus Storybook Bible’s translation of Psalm 23 has become my favourite. May it encourage you too!
Psalm 23 – {The Jesus Storybook Bible by Sally Lloyd-Jones}
God is my shepherd And I am his little lamb.
He feeds me. He guides me. He looks after me. I have everything I need.
Inside, my heart is very quiet. As quiet as lying still in soft green grass in a meadow by a little stream.
Even when I walk through the dark, scary, lonely places I won’t be afraid because my Shepherd knows where I am.
He is here with me. He keeps me safe. He rescues me.
He makes me strong and brave.
He is getting wonderful things ready for me. Especially for me. Everything I ever dreamed of!
He fills my heart so full of happiness I can’t hold it all inside.
Wherever I go I know, God’s never stopping, Never giving up, Unbreaking, Always and forever love will go, too!
[If you do not have that assurance of Jesus as your Good Shepherd, I would love to hear from you]
