May 12, 2020
Today’s devotion is based on Luke 12:32, “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.”

This isn’t the first time God’s children are pictured as sheep. This is not by accident. There is something to learn here. Jesus called himself the Good Shepherd. If we are the sheep, that means he is directly responsible for our wellbeing. That is good news for us.
