Micah 5:4

“And he shall stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God. And they shall dwell secure, for now he shall be great to the ends of the earth.”

In the midst of life’s trials and challenges, there are moments when it can feel like we’re navigating this journey alone. That there’s no one to help carry our burdens. But even in the most difficult times, we are never truly alone. We have the unwavering presence and companionship of God. His constant and abiding love serves as a beacon of hope in our darkest hours. God is our ever-present source of strength, comfort, and guidance. He offers us solace and support as we walk through life’s ups and downs. Like a shepherd cares for and leads his flock, the Lord guides us with strength and wisdom, ensuring our safety and well-being. And nothing can compare to the the security and peace that comes from entrusting our lives to His care. In a world filled with uncertainties, the assurance of the Lord’s shepherding presence brings comfort and a profound sense of belonging. Because we know we are watched over by a Shepherd who is great and extends His love to the ends of the earth.

Proverbs 3:12

“For whom the LORD loves He reproves, even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.”

There’s a quote which says, “Discipline doesn’t break a child’s spirit half as often as the lack of it breaks a parent’s heart.” No one one wants to be punished. Even if it comes with a promise of being for our own good. But not only can we take solace from God’s discipline, but delight in His correction. Because as our loving Father, God desires a close relationship with His children and only the very best for us. And His discipline is an expression of this love, not a form of punishment meant to harm or condemn. Just as a parent corrects their child out of love and concern for their well-being, God’s discipline is intended to guide and shape us. To lead us away from harmful paths and towards His intended purpose for our lives. So even though the consequences of our actions may be painful for a season, we can rejoice because God’s love remains steadfast. And because of that love He refuses to leave us undisciplined.

June 22nd – Luke 7:43

Luke 7:43

“Simon replied, ‘I suppose the one who had the bigger debt forgiven. You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.”

Some hurts run deeper than others, and some wrongs harder to forget. But in His parable about the moneylender, Jesus tells us that no matter how we’ve been sinned against, great or small, we are to forgive. That’s not to say it will be easy. Forgiveness can be an uphill battle. But God knows the healing that comes along with letting go of grudges, bitterness, and resentment. And the sweet freedom it brings. Because forgiveness allows us to let go of negative emotions and liberate ourselves from the burden of the past. Forgiveness frees us from the pain of guilt. And studies have shown that holding onto anger and bitterness affects our physical and mental well being. One of the hardest things God calls us to do is forgive. Especially forgiving those who have hurt us the most. No doable in our strength. But through the strength of the Holy Spirit of God living inside of us, nothing is impossible! (Luke 1:37)
