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
But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness. 2 Peter 3:13
Dear Lord,
Remind us that this is not all there is! We are living in only a drip-drop of time compared to an ocean of eternity that will some day be ours. Help us to keep our hearts and minds in a hopeful place as we anticipate our perfect home and our eternal future. Amen.
