Jesus, Our Great Shepherd!
Jesus, our Great Shepherd is leading us through our days and our nights. He is the One who truly cares for us and is watching over us for good. He loves us and desires that we stay close to Him. Apart from His guiding presence, we become the prey of evil that lurks on every side.
We cannot make it through life in our own strength; it is way too small. Our Great Shepherd is our Savior and Lord who has called us to His perfect rest.
Psalm 23:
The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters. He restores
my soul. He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow
of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your
rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my
enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of
my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Morning Devotion: I Will Sing From the Covert of Your Wings
In the morning, my prayer shall come unto thee O Lord. You are my strength and my song. Daily I will seek your face. You awaken me to the beautiful sound of your voice. Whatever lies ahead, I know that you are with me to lead me all the day. I will trust and not be afraid. I will rest in the covert of your wings and sing your praise! Let your peace reign in our hearts, even as we keep our minds on thee, Lord God. Amen.
Psalm 91:1-7

Today's Scripture Reading:
Psalm 91:1-7
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust."
Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge. His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you.
Thanks be to God who loves us!

John 6:47-51
"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes on Me has everlasting life. I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and are dead.

He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. This is the bread which came down from heaven -- not as your fathers ate the manna and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever."
