AUGUST DEVOTIONS
09/1 John
10:1
"I assure you, anyone who sneaks over the wall of a sheepfold, rather
than going through the gate, must surely be a thief and a robber!
THIEF
Look around you and think about the person to whom you are listening. Are
they a child of God? Do they follow Jesus? If they don’t they are dead in
their trespasses and sin and are described in the Word as a thief and a
robber. It doesn’t matter how wise you are they think they are the are not
wise about the things of God. Listen to Jesus.
09/2 John
10:2-3
For a shepherd enters through the gate. The gatekeeper opens the gate
for him, and the sheep hear his voice and come to him. He calls his own
sheep by name and leads them out.
SHEPHERD
The shepherd is known by his flock. He has spent time with them, watching
over them to keep them safe. He labors for his flock. He knows each
sheep. There is a bond between them. They feel the shepherd’s presence and
protection. If we would like to grow in our knowledge of the Lord let us
listen to Him.
09/3 John
10:4-5
After he has gathered his own flock, he walks ahead of them, and they
follow him because they recognize his voice. They won't follow a stranger;
they will run from him because they don't recognize his voice."
AHEAD
The shepherd knows where they are going and will take the safest route to
get them there. The sheep obediently follow the shepherd to where he is
taking them. Sheep don’t ask the shepherd where they are going. Sheep
don’t suggest alternate routes. They listen to the shepherd and follow
him. Obedience is a key element in our growing in knowledge of the Lord.
