July 11Football and Shepherds
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. John 10:11
An intriguing element of English football is the team anthem sung by the fans at the start of each match. These songs range from the fun (Glad All Over) to the whimsical (Im Forever Blowing Bubbles) to the surprising. Psalm 23, for instance, is the anthem of the club from West Bromwich Albion. The words of that psalm appear on the façade inside the teams stadium, declaring to everyone who comes to watch the West Brom Baggies the care of the good, great, and chief Shepherd.
In Psalm 23, David made his timeless statement, The Lord is my shepherd (v. 1). Later, the gospel writer Matthew would tell us, When [Jesus] saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd (Matthew 9:36). And in John 10, Jesus declared His love and concern for the human sheep of His generation. I am the good shepherd, He said. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep (v. 11). Jesuss compassion drove His interactions with the crowds, His responses to their needs, and, ultimately, His sacrifice on their (and our) behalf.
The Lord is my shepherd is far more than an ancient lyric or a clever slogan. Its the confident statement of what it means to be known and loved by our great Godand what it means to be rescued by His Son.
By Bill Crowder
Reflect & Pray
In what ways have you seen Gods care for you? Who can you tell about Him today?
What a gift our Shepherd is to us, Father! Help us to respond to His voiceand draw nearer to You.

If you want something done right, do it yourself?
You must “budget” for rest!
