Stephanie Barber came to Avondale to get an education but leaves with so much more. The experience has “changed my life and my children’s lives.” Her story is best told in her own words. It begins with her father, to whom she dedicates her counselling degree. Source: https://wp.avondale.edu.au/news/2022/06/26/this-degrees-for-you-dad/

Sunday: A Guide for the Journey ~ The Shepherd
“The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want” (Psalm 23:1, NKJV).
Some children were asked to draw a picture of God. Without exception, each one drew a picture with a heart somewhere in it. When asked why, they declared unanimously that God is love. It was as simple as that.

It is easy to have a good opinion about God and His purposes when everything is going well. But as we grow older and life becomes harder and more complicated, our view of God often changes. God doesn’t change, of course (Hebrews 13:8, James 1:17); but we do.
Because of the pastoral lifestyle of the people in Old Testament times, uses the image of a shepherd to describe the way God cares for us. The symbol of a shepherd is used for God — in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. It’s a wonderful picture and one that is changeless, too. Before we look at , let’s survey how different Bible writers understand the work and character of the Shepherd throughout the Bible.
What do you learn about the Shepherd from each of the following verses?
Now turn to Psalm chapter 23. What does the Shepherd do to care for His sheep?
| What does it mean to you to know that there is Someone like this caring for you? How could you use this picture to encourage someone whose own picture of God has been obscured because of his or her own struggles, whatever they are? |
Amen!
