Wisdom To Follow The Good Shepherd

John 10:11-18 KJV; 4th Sunday of Easter; The Good Shepherd seeks you. Follow him and beware of wolves in sheep's clothing.

He Seeks The Lost

He Seeks The Lost

For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out. As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. 

                                                                                    (Ezekiel 34:11-12 KJV)

The Lord God seeks his sheep to bring them into his fold. The truth is that he know where you are and what you are doing. He knows all who have been busy trying to hide from him; trying to run from him. Just maybe it's time to quit hiding and thank the Lord God that he desires to make you his own. Maybe it is time to listen to his voice and follow him to where he would have you go.

Have Faith?

"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." (Heb 11:6 NIV)

What does it mean to really have faith? Faith must mean more than just believing that God exists somewhere out there. As James wrote: "You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder." (James 2:19) Genuine faith seeks God. It seeks to be closer to God. It trusts Him to be with you and to be there for you. Genuine faith and genuine loved goes hand in hand. Without genuine faith; without genuine love for God; it is truly impossible to please Him.

May God help us to believe and trust in Him that we might be blessed with His presence for all eternity.
