John 10:12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it.

One of the things we know about Jesus was He did not run away from what was going to happen to Him even though He knew all which would happen.

Jesus knows what is going to happen in our lives too – He is watching over us like a good shepherd would, trying to stop us from doing silly things!

If we do listen properly to Him, He will keep us out of danger!

Matthew 10:16 I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.

When Jesus sent the disciples out to spread the gospel, He warned them about the opposition they would face... even though they were being sent to the Jews!

God is the one who knows who will give us the most opposition – sometimes it is going to be the people we least expect it from!

As long as we do listen and obey God, we should be on track to do His will without losing the battle.

Philippians 2:15 so that you may become blameless and pure, ‘children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.’ Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky

Our modern bibles have been divided up into chapter and verses, some of which don’t make much sense when we see them in our modern ways of speaking...

We are given a significant and awesome title of ‘children of God!’ A title we should strive to live up to!

We live in a world where things change so quickly and people chop and change laws, rules and even their own ways of living!

God never changes. Be the bright reflection of Christ for others to see by.

Ephesians 5:1 Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children

When you read the instruction manual – do you find it is easier to work with your new possession?

We are God’s children and He has given us His instruction manual – our bible – so we can live properly!

It is our task to read the instruction manual and try to live our lives better according to that manual.

God is trying to help us through the Holy Spirit too...
