“I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep” (John 10:14).
Today I received something in the mail that made me stop and shake my head. It was an invitation from an insurance company written to my dear wife Karen to purchase life insurance. It told her that now was the time to purchase insurance for the final expenses. Little did they know that my dear Karen has been in Heaven for over twenty-eight weeks. They of course had no way of knowing our situation, but it reminded me once again how very different it is with our awesome Lord. We are His sheep. He knows us. He knows our situation. He knows our every need. We are His people and are never out of His sight. I understand an insurance company not knowing the people to whom they are writing. But I am likewise thrilled that it is not so with the Lord. He knows us! He is the Good Shepherd.
For today: I am so glad to belong to the Good Shepherd. How about you?
