Close your eyes and envision a sheep wandering off far away from the flock only to get caught on a dangerous sloping hillside. Now see the Shepherd’s relentless pursuit in both finding and rescuing this lost sheep. So often, we get ourselves into our self-created messes, but thankfully our Savior comes to the rescue when we cry out with a repentant heart.
In what way have you felt your Shepherd come to you rescue you from a precarious situation?
After your rescue by your Good Shepherd, what was your reaction?
Write a prayer using the above verses as a reference.
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and glory and honor and blessing. - Rev. 5:12
Dear Lord,
Today remind us of your majesty so that we will then be in awe of your mercy. You, King of kings, marched to the cross. How can this be? Thank you for your willingness to pay the price for our sins. May we now live for you in humbled gratitude. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
