Verse of the Week: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not be in want.” Psalm 23:1

Thought for the Week: We may not always leap at the chance to be considered sheep. But how comforting it is to know that wherever we go, whatever we do, we have a shepherd watching over us. The imagery of Jesus as the Good Shepherd is rooted in the idea that the relationship between the shepherd and their sheep is extraordinary and unique. The shepherd, you see, knows each member of the flock by name, and each sheep knows and responds to the sound of the shepherd’s voice. Because sheep, as it happens, although possessing very good peripheral vision, have extremely limited depth perception. In other words, they often cannot see what’s right before their eyes. They need their shepherd to help get them safely to where they need to be. And so it is with the relationship that Christ seeks to have with each one of us. When this challenging, complex and confusing world becomes overwhelming, and we can’t quite see the way forward, we need only listen for His voice, and we will have everything we need to find the way home.
