Isaiah 40:10 Yes, the Sovereign Lord is coming in power. He will rule with a powerful arm. See, he brings his reward with him as he comes. 11 He will feed his flock like a shepherd. He will carry the lambs in his arms,holding them close to his heart. He will gently lead the mother sheep with their young. 12 Who else has held the oceans in his hand? Who has measured off the heavens with his fingers?Who else knows the weight of the earth or has weighed the mountains and hills on a scale? 13 Who is able to advise the Spirit of the Lord? Who knows enough to give him advice or teach him? 14 Has the Lord ever needed anyone's advice? Does he need instruction about what is good?Did someone teach him what is right or show him the path of justice? 15 No, for all the nations of the world are but a drop in the bucket. They are nothing more than dust on the scales. He picks up the whole earth as though it were a grain of sand. 16 All the wood in Lebanon's forests and all Lebanon's animals would not be enough to make a burnt offering worthy of our God. 17 The nations of the world are worth nothing to him. In his eyes they count for less than nothing— mere emptiness and froth.
Oh Great and powerful sovereign God,
In the midst of this passage about Your Greatness is a single verse describing Your care for Your sheep. Wow! The God who created it all will care for us like a loving shepherd cares for his sheep. Thank You, Father!
Today, fill us with the knowledge of Your constant watch care. Open our eyes that we will see You at work around and in us. Increase our faith to trust You fully. Forgive us for failing to yield to Your Holy Spirit in the past. Re-sensitize us that we may feel, hear, see and know His loving guidance.
In Christ Our Lord, AMEN!
Love in Christ,
Steve Sherwood Sr
