Running with Jesus

 

Luke 15:3-6 And he spake this parable unto them, saying, What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.

      Jesus leaves the fold and comes and finds the lost sheep and lays it on His shoulder and brings it home. I once heard that when a sheep keeps wondering away from the fold a shepherd will break his leg then carry him on his shoulder so he learns to depend upon him and from then on he stays very close to the shepherd. I can tell you I was one broken mess when Jesus found me and carried me home. I was lost in a sea of emotions! The only way I have survived life has been staying close to my precious Shepherd, Jesus Christ. He truly makes me lie down in green pastures, leads me beside still waters and restores my soul. 

     Are you emotionally broke and lost in that sea of emotions this morning? Then the shepherd wants to pick you up and tend to you. Stop running, relax and rest upon his shoulders. You don't have to keep fighting, LET GO AND LET GOD!!!

     Yesterday old Satan tried so hard to cause me to have doubt and fears (emotions) but my Shepherd was there to help me! Satan lies to us. Don't believe his lies; believe the words of the master Shepherd. The words of the Shepherd have to rule over our thought life. Watch what you are thinking! Don't think like a lost sheep, you are found and your Shepherd is right with you going ahead guiding and leading. So today, rest upon His shoulder. He is teaching you to depend upon Him totally.

      

Father, thank You for being our Shepherd and when my emotions run away with me and I get lost in them, You come and find me and bring me home!  

 

Tomorrow: Let’s think like an angel!
