Jesus used this metaphor to communicate with his followers. The survival of sheep depends on the existence of a shepherd who cares.
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep. A hired hand will run when he sees a wolf coming. He will abandon the sheep because they don’t belong to him and he isn’t their shepherd. And so the wolf attacks them and scatters the flock. The hired hand runs away because he’s working only for the money and doesn’t really care about the sheep.
“I am the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they know me, just as my Father knows me and I know the Father. So I sacrifice my life for the sheep. I have other sheep, too, that are not in this sheepfold. I must bring them also. They will listen to my voice, and there will be one flock with one shepherd.”
John 10: 11-16 (NLT).

“Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story— those he redeemed from the hand of the foe.”

Good morning, friends 👋
I don’t know about you, but I needed this reminder of God’s promises this morning:
Romans 8:26-28 (NLT)
“And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will. And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.”
Hallelujah!
May you have a blessed Saturday. Let’s pray as the Spirit directs—lifting up our families, friends, national leaders, and our nation.
Senator Blackburn’s “Bell to Bell, No Cell” proposal is long overdue.
Schools exist for learning, not endless notifications, social media, and constant distractions.
Cell phones should be checked into the office (or locked in pouches) at the start of the day and returned only when the final bell rings.
No excuses, no exceptions—let’s finally put students’ focus and education first.
