The Shepherd does not demand — He invites. This week we consider what it means to hear His voice clearly and to respond with a willing, if trembling, 'yes.'
Discussion Questions
8 questions1.When the Shepherd invites Much-Afraid to the High Places, her first response is essentially: 'I can't. Look at me.' Have you ever responded to a sense of God's calling with a list of your inadequacies? What was that like?
2.The Shepherd does not remove Much-Afraid's limp before asking her to climb. He asks her to begin the journey as she is. What does this tell us about how God calls us — and how we tend to wait until we feel 'ready'?
3.Song of Solomon 2:10 records the beloved saying, 'Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.' Hurnard draws on this image to show the Shepherd's tender persistence. How does it change your picture of God to see His invitation as a lover's call rather than a commander's order?
