Read John 10:1-10.
Sheep know the voice of the shepherd, and they follow that voice. They don’t follow any other voice because they know their shepherd is good. He is the one who lovingly cares for them. But they have to know the voice of the shepherd in order for this to work. “Oh Lord, help me today to hear your voice in the midst of all the other noise that will fill my head.”

    I was struck by the second part of the reading, where Jesus is not only the shepherd but also the gate itself. With God as our boundary, we can be free - our comings and goings are protected. With the other voices, all we have is fear.

    Hearing Jesus' voice is not always easy. I need to learn to quiet myself and listen.

Read James 1:2-15. One of the greatest challenges I face is seeing the trials that I face as assets. It is through those trials – difficult and distressing as they may be – that my faith becomes stronger. In them I learn to trust in God’s providence and His promises. So today, instead of grumbling or bemoaning, I want to ask:   “God, what can I learn today? How can I grow?”

Read John 15:1-17. The phrase from this passage that stands out the most to me is found in verse 15: “I no longer call you servants … instead I have called you friends.” This speaks to me of a different kind of God – a God who desires a relational connection to each of us. That echoes throughout the passage, of course, with the imagery of branches connected to the vine. But to be considered a friend of Jesus is a far more intimate image for me. As with any friendship, I need to cultivate that friendship, spending time with Him, talking to Him, listening to Him. That’s my goal today.

Read John 4:5-26.  The story of the Samaritan woman reminds me that everything in this life will eventually leave us to thirst again. The things of this life come and go. But in Jesus, our thirst is forever quenched. In Jesus, everything we need is provided. In Jesus, our lives are complete and whole. So why seek anything else? Why drink from the well of this world and be thirsty again? Come to Jesus and never thirst again.
