Psalm
119:176
I
have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek they servant; for I do not forget they
commandments.
The
shepherd will go looking for a lost sheep, no matter where it might have
wandered. Regardless of ravine, cavern, raging river, steep cliff, the shepherd
will endeavor to save even the scrawniest, mangiest sheep. His devotion to his
flock is total and absolute.
God's
devotion to us is even greater. We can never be separated from the love and
care of God. No matter how far we might stray from Him, He is continually on
the lookout for us, and He will rescue us from whatever our peril might be.
Rest sure and secure in the love of God. He will never give you up for lost.
Prayer:
Lord, I wander off sometimes, but I always want to be with You. Keep a watchful
eye upon me, a foolish sheep. Herd me back to the fold, where I am always safe
and warm. Amen.
