Week 1, Day 2
What the Good Shepherd Wants to Say
Yesterday, we introduced the importance of knowing the voice of the Good Shepherd. But how can we hear His voice? And even if we hear it, are we listening?

Read Psalm 23 (ESV) below and underline the portions of this psalm that most speak to your heart today. Read it more than one time and in more than one version.

Week 1: Listening to the Good Shepherd
Week 1, Day 1
Knowing the Voice of the Good Shepherd
Sheep are dumb. But there is one thing that makes them smarter than many of us: They know the voice of the Good Shepherd.
Read John 10:1-18 and reflect on the questions that follow as we listen to the Good Shepherd’s voice today. (The NLT version is included below, but feel free to read it in multiple versions to hear the Good Shepherd’s voice in different and new ways.)
“I tell you the truth, anyone who sneaks over the wall of a sheepfold, rather than going through the gate, must surely be a thief and a robber! 2 But the one who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep recognize his voice and come to him. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 After he has gath-ered his own flock, he walks ahead of them, and they follow him because they know his voice. 5 They won’t follow a stranger; they will run from him because they don’t know his voice.”
