April 22, 2023 ~ LKMilam April Devotions: "The Good Shepherd"

And so, I continue. . . That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving and tell of all thy wondrous works. Psalms 26:7

John 10:9-10 ~ 10 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. KJV

Jesus is still teaching and contrasting the Good Shepherd in comparison to the false shepherds of Israel. But the lesson is there for us as Christians today. The Word of God is "timeless" and every word, dot, or tittle was written, recorded, and conserved for Christians of all ages. Jesus knows that we would be assaulted by false teachers today. If you are or have any relationship close to God and follow the WORD of God explicitly. He will give you discernment and understanding and particularly wisdom in the need to weed out the false prophets.

As the thief, these people don't show their true inner selves. If they did, there would not be so many of God's people fooled by them. It is their goal to gain power, wealth, position for the soul purpose of uplifting themselves NOT the Lord God. They are often categorized as preachers who teach “prosperity gospel.” They supply the audience with a steady stream of feel-good vibes and promises of good things to those who please God, and very little of the whole counsel of God, preached from the Word of God. BEWARE. Trust your relationship with the Heavenly Father and His leading and guiding. Make sure you and your family are worshipping the LORD God and not some man and his position.

Your family depends on this Christian! May the Lord give us wisdom, discernment, and long days under HIS guidance through His God Called shepherd.

HE CARES! Lost person, Do You Want to Know HIM?  Lord, help us to be wise, studied up, aware, and faithful to You. Amen.  With love and prayers, may we be your faithful Philippians 2:16 Missionaries?

Philippians 2:16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
