Jehovah is my Shepherd

Do you realize that God has only one flock? According to John 10, He indeed has only one flock. This unique flock is the Body of Christ where Christ is all and in all.

Those who are not in the flock are in a fold. A fold may provide something seemingly not bad, but it locks up sheep and prevent them from enjoying the real thing - Christ and the church. Some may be in a fold of religious activities. Some may be in a fold of self-improvement. Some may be in a fold of social life. These folds replace Christ and resist the will of God.Pray that your Christian friends may be called by the Shepherd to get out of whatever fold and be brought back to the flock.

May the following hymn strengthen your prayer:

Jehovah is my Shepherd; I will lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside waters of rest.
He restores my soul; He guides me on the paths
Of righteousness for His name's sake.
Your rod and staff comfort me.
Though I walk through death valley
I fear no evil, for You are with me.
You spread a feast before me,
You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.
Goodness and lovingkindness
Will follow me always,
I will dwell in the house of Jehovah
For the length of my days.
