Jesus describes His intimate connection with His people as the Good Shepherd. Jesus makes it clear that He knows His sheep and His sheep know Him. What a blessing and privilege it is to have an intimate connection with Jesus. As our Shepherd, Jesus is our source of grace and glory, and our giver of all good things. A believer’s pilgrimage on earth is the transformational journey in which she draws closer to God during this life on earth. Every circumstance, every hurt, every laugh, every tear we have every experienced is purposed in our lives to draw us yet nearer to the goodness of God. Through our individual journeys, the Lord is to be our final destination. Our decisions are to be filtered through God’s desires for us. Our needs are to be given to Him. Our “trash” is to be surrendered to Him. In our journey through our valleys, our plateaus, and our mountaintops, we are to praise God as the source of all of our needs. Through the storms and the heat, though we may be weary and tired, we are to praise God for his gifts of grace and focus on His glory. In our journey, we are to remember that the Lord is our Shepherd and He laid His life down for us. The Lord withholds no good thing from us. We can trust Him no matter our circumstance, because we belong to Him and because He wants nothing but the best for us.
Will you choose to trust the Lord when circumstances may not be in your favor? Will you trust that the Lord will never leave or forsake You?
Father God, I thank You for this journey with You. I thank You for laying down your life for me. I thank You for leading me and guiding me. I thank You for never leaving me. Lord, help me to glorify You no matter the circumstance. When I waver in my trust of You, remind me that You withhold no good thing for me. Lord, I believe, but help my unbelief. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

What’s in a name? The many beautiful names of God reveal something about who he is and why he functions the way he does. Names of God – specifically written to help us focus on our Lord during the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons – walks us through the study of six of the names God has given himself. Time is spent looking at the truths these names reveal about God, and how this knowledge should practically impact our everyday decisions, emotions, and relationships. “For what higher, more exalted, and more compelling goal can there be than to know God?” ~ J.I. Packer. Come join us as we get to know God more fully and spend time adoring him for who he is. God shows himself to us through his names because of his great love for us. We, in turn, have the privilege of loving, worshipping and resting in Him on an even deeper level during this reflective time of year. Journal with us as we go through this study for the next six weeks…reading and writing what God speaks into our hearts.
