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.
I have led you forty years in the wilderness. Your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandals have not worn off your feet. Deuteronomy 29:5
Dear Lord,
Open our eyes to your daily faithfulness. May we count the numerous ways in which you provide, from the air we breathe to the food we eat to the roof over our head. Imagine if we did not have these things? May we take one moment right now to say a heartfelt thank you. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
