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 after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire the sound of a low whisper...And behold, there came a voice to him and said, "What are you doing here, Elijah?" 1 Kings 19:11b-13
Dear Lord,
Help us to turn off the frivolous and even destructive noises of this world so that we can then hear your intentional whisper--for your gentle words are full of wisdom, direction, and hope. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
