Like a Shepherd

Day 20
My desires will become your desires, and yours will become mine. I will make my ways and my purposes known to you. I will instruct you and teach you how to obey me, and you will receive power to overcome sin in this world.

Your children, and the people you care for, are mine. I will guide you in your responsibility to care for them. Be open to my leading. I will hold you up, and I will not let you fall. Follow me, and they will see me in you. Keep my way ever before you. There is power in submission to me.


For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith. Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God [1 John 5:3-5].

Like a shepherd He will tend His flock. In His arm He will gather the lambs and carry them close to his heart. He will gently lead those who nurse their young [Isaiah 40:11].
