Day 10 of 31 — John 10 (The Good Shepherd)

Scripture (John 10:11, NKJV)

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.”

John 10 is a chapter of comfort and clarity: Jesus is not a distant ruler—He is a present Shepherd. He doesn’t lead from afar. He walks with His people, protects them, and proves His love with sacrifice.

A shepherd knows what each sheep needs: guidance, correction, rest, and safety. Jesus says He knows His sheep, and His sheep know His voice (John 10:14, 27). That means Christianity isn’t just learning information—it’s learning to recognize the voice of the One who loves you most.

And here’s the difference between Jesus and every counterfeit source of security:

He doesn’t use the sheep for His benefit. He gives Himself for theirs.

When life feels uncertain, when fear gets loud, when you’re weary from carrying too much—John 10 calls you back to this truth: you are not abandoned, and you are not unprotected. The Good Shepherd is steady, close, and faithful.

Today, you don’t have to find your way alone. You just have to follow His voice—one step at a time.

Practical application

• Before you start the day, pause and pray: “Jesus, Shepherd me today.”

• If you’re facing a decision, ask: “What would obedience look like in the next step?”

• When anxiety hits, repeat: “I am His, and He is leading me.”

Jesus, You are my Good Shepherd. Thank You that You know me, You see me, and You care for me. Help me recognize Your voice above every other voice. Lead me in Your peace, guard my heart from fear, and give me courage to follow You today. I trust You with my life. Amen.
