Just realizing our Sheppard watches over us is comforting especially in the midst of a world facing uncertainty. Theorists pontificate about future events, using the world’s criteria to form their arguments. And yet, there is only one who knows the future, and it is Him we love and serve. We are the people of His pasture and therefore walk confidently knowing He prizes obedience above sacrifice, and will meet all our need according to His riches and glory.

 In the presidential election, we witnessed how desperate the world is for hope, how hope is prized, and the premium people seem willing to pay to attain it. Yet the answer is simple and has remained the same: accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, ask forgiveness for past wrongs and see what the Lord will do in your heart and in your life.

As His people, let's be careful to listen for His voice amid the din. Let's remember what His word says when confronted by the myriad worldviews attempting to force their way into our thoughts and heart. We are to confront the darkness with the light of "The truth," then be still and know that He is God.
