A shepherd

The Seventh Day of Christmas

I will appoint for them a single shepherd, and he will feed them. ~ Ezekiel 34:23 (CEB)

Our Lord Jesus is the great Shepherd of the sheep. The God who gives peace brought him back from the dead. He did it because of the blood of the eternal covenant. Now may God supply you with everything good. ~ Hebrews 13:20-21 (NIRV)

Lord Jesus, you are a great shepherd. Even though I have not followed you as closely as I should have, you still led me through another year. Thank you for taking care of me. I don't know what is going to happen in 2015. But I am confident that you will be walking in front of us, leading the way. This is going to be exciting. I am going to ignore all the other leaders and follow only you. You have already proven that you are the one I should follow. Amen.
