Judges 16:1-31; Isaiah 35:1-10; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way. Isaiah 53:6
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. John 10:27
As unbelievers, God likened us to wandering sheep going our own sinful ways. We were headed to a horrible end. If we have taken God’s gift of a Saviour, God still likens us to sheep, but we are following the Good Shepherd who claims us as His own. He can do that because He gave His life for the sheep (v. 11). He not only saves but He keeps us in His hand (v. 28). What a change He has accomplished. —Ken Gross
Gently He leads me in the Heavenly way;
He will restrain me from going astray. —B. Warren
