It is remarkable how often sheep appear in the Bible and how often Jesus, descendant of David, appears to shepherd us. Thank you God, we badly need shepherding.

Ezekiel 34:22-24
I will rescue my flock; they shall no longer be a prey. And I will judge between sheep and sheep.
And I will set up over them one shepherd, my servant David, and he shall feed them: he shall feed them and be their shepherd.
And I, the Lord, will be their God, and my servant David shall be prince among them. I am the Lord; I have spoken.

We will always falter in our faithfulness but He never does. However, we can stir up one another, and we should.

Hebrews 10:23-24
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,

The guy who wrote Hebrews was pretty good with word pictures. He transforms the Holy Bible from a dusty book on your shelf to the living, piercing, discerning Christ. It is so exciting!

Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Are you feeling as anxious as I am? Prayer is available and a ready solace. Here is a good one for today. It is a good one any day.

Psalm 119:132-133
Look upon me and be merciful to me, As Your custom is toward those who love Your name.
Direct my steps by Your word, And let no iniquity have dominion over me.
