Led by the Shepherd
Following the voice that leads.
Trusting God to guide your steps.
The big idea
You don't have to figure out the whole path — just follow the Shepherd's voice.
What does “Led by the Shepherd” walk through?
His Sheep Follow
John 10:27 · KJV
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
In plain English
Those who belong to me recognize my voice. I know them, and they walk with me.
A Voice You Know
Sheep don't follow a map; they follow a voice. Knowing God comes before being led by him.
Rest and Wait
Psalm 37:7 · KJV
Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way.
In plain English
Rest in God. Wait for him. Don't get worked up over someone else's success.
Wait for Him
Being led sometimes means waiting until the Shepherd moves.
Pray
Lord, you are my Shepherd. Help me know your voice and follow. Amen.
