Respite For the Weary
Matthew 2:6
And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are by no means least among the lead- ers of Judah; for out of you shall come forth a Ruler, who will shepherd My people Israel.
Isaiah 40:11
Like a shepherd He will tend His flock, In His arm He will gather the lambs, And carry them in His bosom;
He will gently lead the nursing ewes.
Psalm 23:1-3
The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters,
He restores my soul;
He guides me in paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.
John 10:11, 14
I am the Good Shepherd; the Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep...I know My own, and My own know Me.
My Child,
I am your Good Shepherd. I know you, and I want to carry you, quiet you, guide you, and restore your soul. Let My rod and staff comfort you as you walk out your days. I am here morning, noon, and night.
Immanuel
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Hebrews 11:6
Dear Lord,
Help us to realize that more than anything else (more than our money, more than our good works, more than our attempts at flawless living), you desire faith. Faith IN YOU, then as a result, our actions will flow as a sincere offering. May we believe in all of who you are so that we can walk in your ways, one dependent step at a time. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
