In His Fold
WRITTEN BY: ADMIN - FEB• 19•14
Psalm 23:1 (NIV): “The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.”
A shepherd’s job is never ending. He is responsible for the daily care of his sheep. He leads them to green pastures and clean waters. He corrals them back to himself when they start to stray. The shepherd must be sober-minded and alert; ready to guard and protect his fold from predators that a...re always lurking in the shadows. The shepherd even sacrifices his own personal safety and comfort for the good of his sheep. Understanding the great commitment that a shepherd has to his sheep, how precious to know that Christ is the Good Shepherd, and we are the sheep of His fold. He pledges to take care of our daily needs (Philippians 4:19). He draws us close to His side when we wander astray. He is our protector and our vindicator; we have nothing to fear (Psalm 18:1-3). Christ suffered and died so that we could thrive and live (1 Thessalonians 5:10). Because Jesus is our Shepherd, we can go through our days with confidence knowing that He is lovingly and faithfully watching over us.
Rest peacefully…you are in the Shepherd’s care today!
