140. He Is Shepherding You

John 10:14


Don’t you hate how people always expect you to have everything about your life all figured out? I mean, what if you don’t know what to do or where to go? Is that okay? It’s like we live in a pressure cooker where only decisive people make it out alive. It starts when you’re just a little kid... people ask you, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” And pretty much all of us wanted to be firemen, astronauts or vets, right? The whole time you’re growing up, you have grandparents putting money in a college fund and then in middle school you take an aptitude test to find out what you’re good at and what job you’d be suited for. Then in high school you pick a college and all anyone wants to know is, “What’s your major?” Then you finally pick one, graduate and interview for a job where they ask you for your five year plan... Dang! It’s like we have to always know every little thing about our lives. We have to have it all worked out, right now. We have to make good decisions at every stage or we suck, right? Well, what if you just don’t know what you want to be or where you want to go next? Is it okay if you don’t have all the answers? Here’s the truth: Yes. It’s okay Jesus said that He’s the Good Shepherd. That means He is our Guide. It means He is the One taking care of you. It means you don’t have to have it all figured out. It means you don’t have to be smart or clever. It means that all you really have to do is follow Him.
