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
See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. 1 John 3:1b
Dear Lord,
Like a newborn baby in her mother's arms, you love us completely, without exceptions and without expectations. Declare to our hearts, "No performance needed." For you have done the work for us already! Reassure us today that we, by faith in your Son, can rest in your arms; and then, by the grace of your Spirit, we can mature in your truths. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
