Your Good Shepherd – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional July 6th

(He Cares About Every Part Of Your Life)

TO THE BIBLE: Psalm 23:1
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.”

LET’S TALK
When Jesus said, ”I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own” (John 10:14), He wanted us to know His primary responsibility towards us, which is to nurture, guide, protect and provide for us.

“Shepherd” in Greek is “poimen,” which also means “Pastor.” Thus, Jesus described Himself as the “Good Pastor.”

You need to know and relate to the Lord Jesus as your shepherd and bread-provider. That way, you won’t need to struggle through life trying to make things work on your own or feel like everything depends on you figuring it out.

Simply follow the leading of the Lord Jesus, your Good Shepherd, and He’ll guide you into everything you require for the good life. He’ll guide you in your classes, when you’re preparing for exams, when you’re choosing friends, when you’re dealing with peer pressure, and even when you’re trying to decide what to post, say, or respond to in a group chat.

Your Good Shepherd loved you enough to die for you, and He lives in your heart today, guiding you by the Holy Spirit in the path of God’s destiny for your life.

Remember, Jesus loves you more than you love yourself; He loves you more than life itself, and He proved it by dying for you on the Cross.

That’s the character of the good shepherd: he lays his life down for his sheep. Always be conscious of Christ’s irrevocable love for you. He is your Good Shepherd, and He cares about you.

When you feel misunderstood, left out, pressured to fit in, or worried about your future, He hasn’t stepped away. He’s right there, invested in every part of your story.

He’s more willing and enthusiastic about your success, progress and prosperity than you could ever be. He went to the uttermost length to see to it that you turn out right in life.

Pray:
Dear Lord Jesus, I recognise you as my Good Shepherd. I know I’ll never lack or be in want of any good thing, for you lay me down in the field of abundance. I rejoice, knowing that you’re with me, shielding and protecting me from all evil and guiding me to streams of peaceful waters. Your rod and staff comfort me. Surely, your kindness and love will always encompass me each day of my life, and I’ll live forever under your divine protection. Amen.
