John 10:1-10
Jesus said, “I am the good shepherd. I know my own sheep and they know me.” – John 10:14 (CEB)
Today’s Message
When I was in middle school, my family had many chickens. One day, a mother hen went into the fields outside to feed her chicks, and a chick fell into a hole in the ground. When it became dark, the hen returned to our house with her other chicks, leaving the lone chick behind.
After some time, my father heard the chick crying, and he tried to retrieve it from the hole. But the little chick was afraid and did not respond to my father’s voice, so he could not get it out. When I saw what was happening, I brought the mother hen to the hole and she called out to the chick. On hearing its mother’s voice, the chick immediately came out of the hole.
Today, many years later, I still recall that evening. When the chick heard its mother’s voice, its fear vanished. In the same way, during difficult times we can listen for our heavenly Father’s voice. God can deliver us from any situation.
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father, help us to listen for your voice and come to you in any situation. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
Thought for the Day
God is always speaking to me; I will listen and respond.
Prayer Focus
