THE SHEPHERD KNOWS HIS SHEEP

As Sons and Daughters of Abraham who believed in Christ Jesus, we are adopted into the family of faith as the spiritual Israelite generation of today, circumcised in the Spirit to live for God's glory, being royal Priests and Brethren with Christ (1 Pet. 2:9). The Messiah and Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ, knows everyone, seeing all that's in our hearts, even as we work in His Vineyard, noticing all who are faithful and those who are going against Him (Nahum 1:7, John 6:64).
Nevertheless, as Christians, we should always remain steadfast, far from evil, guarding what is good against loss, and never be ashamed of our Christ's Calling but knowing whom we are trusting and serving: the Covenant-keeping God and Good Shepherd who never forsakes His own (2 Tim. 1:12-14 & 2:19-22).

PRAYER: In Jesus' Name, thank you, LORD, my Good Shepherd, for helping me get to know You through Your Word, even as You know who I am, seeing through appearances, into my heart for You and Your people. Please, continue to keep me at peace in Your Divine presence, as I meditate on Your Word, that I may make you known, while never lacking the comfort of Your Love,
Amen.

From John 10:14
