Thoughts on Today's Verse...

God made us and knew us even when we were unseen in our mother's womb. He made us with loving care, a purpose for our lives, and his promise to be with us every step of our lives (Psalm 139:1-18). God cares for us much more than even the best shepherds care for their sheep. So let's live as those who know our Leader, Creator, Shepherd, and King, and that he knows us intimately so we can display his character, share his grace, extend his mercy, and offer his forgiveness to others. Let's show that we are God's people and that we have learned to care for others from our powerful yet tender Shepherd!

My Prayer...

I am truly thankful, dear Lord, that you are my Shepherd, Father, and Hero. Please empower me as I seek to display your character and kindness to those around me. I want others to know the Great Shepherd of the Sheep, so I want to reflect your love, tenderness, guidance, protection, correction, and care. In Jesus' name, I ask for your help to do this. Amen.
