"He will tend his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms; he will carry them in his bosom, and gently lead those that are with young." (Isaiah 40:11)
Do yourself a favor today. Read Isaiah 40. Then meditate on the riches of God's love and care for you. On how you are part of the fulfillment of this prophecy - the church of Jesus Christ. There is so much in this wonderful prophecy for which you can be thankful.
In this one verse, we see that God takes care of his flock like a shepherd. He gathers us together in his protective care. He called us out of our wandering around in sin. We are safe now. The world remains a dangerous place, but we are truly in the safest possible condition: saved unto eternal life, guaranteed, in Christ. Christ does gently lead us. The world is the harsh place. Not Jesus. He gently leads. Take some time to enjoy your salvation these next few days.
1. If you worry about things, ask this: where exactly is God not noticing your problem? In what way is he failing to take care of you?
2. On the other hand, how is God carrying you right now? How is he keeping you close and safe from trouble?
3. How is God gently leading you?
Have a blessed Christmas!
