Picture: Sheep (going astray, scattered)
Scripture: Isaiah 53:6; Psalm 119:176; Matthew 26:31; Ezekiel 34:11-16; Matthew 18:10-13
Write any phrases from the selected Bible verses that speak to you:
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.
...Know therefore today, and lay it in your heart, that the Lord your God in heaven above and on the earth beneath, there is no other. Deuteronomy 4:39
Dear Lord,
Help us to know today and every day, you alone are God. Nothing came into being without you, and nothing will transpire without your consent. When we have this fundamental truth in place, we also have your abiding peace. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
