Agape Love Blog – Sunday, September 21, 2025The Lord Is Our Shepherd

Good morning, beloved!

This Sunday is a beautiful reminder to slow down and rest in the care of our Good Shepherd. Life may pull us in many directions, but God gently leads us, restores us, and provides everything we need. When we trust Him, we find true peace and contentment.

✝️ Verse of the Day“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.”— Psalm 23:1 (KJV)

When the Lord is our Shepherd, we lack nothing. He guides, protects, and loves us with unfailing care.

Following the Shepherd brings peace no pasture can match.

Sunday Reflection: Following the Shepherd’s Voice

The world offers many voices, but only the Shepherd’s voice leads us to life. As His sheep, we are safe when we stay near Him, listening, trusting, and following His lead.

Peace comes when we stop striving and start following.

Sunday Prayer:Lord, thank You for being my Shepherd. Lead me beside still waters and restore my soul today. Help me to follow Your voice above all others. May my life reflect Your goodness and mercy. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Today’s Challenge:Take a quiet moment today to read Psalm 23 slowly. Reflect on how God has been your Shepherd this week.

May your Sunday be filled with rest, peace, and the gentle care of the Good Shepherd.
