Genesis 24:1-67; Job 29:1-30:31; Matthew 13:1-23
When he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. John 10:4
First He calls us His own sheep. Then He assures us that our Shepherd doesn’t just put us forth, but goes before us as we go. Since we know His voice, we follow and we know we are in the right way. Also, we know nothing will be in the way, that He has not encountered and judged safe for us. We cannot see ahead but we can trust Him. —Ken Gross
Simply trusting every day,
Trusting through a stormy way;
Even when my faith is small,
Trusting Jesus, that is all. —Edgar P. Stites
