[To the people questioning Jesus at the Temple, he continued,] "But you don't believe me because you are not my sheep. My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from me, for my Father has given them to me, and he is more powerful than anyone else. No one can snatch them from the Father's hand."
— John 10:26-29 NLT

Key Thought

How strong a grip do you have? Well, know this: Jesus' grip is stronger! As your shepherd, he will never let you go.

Today's Prayer

Father, I trust my life, my hope, and my future to you. I trust that as I seek you, you will never let me go. Give me strength so that I can respond to such assurance and grace with passion for you, for your Kingdom, and for your holiness. In Jesus' name. Amen.
