Good Shepherd

The Lord was truly merciful, so he rescued his people. He took them in his arms and carried them all those years. ~ Isaiah 63:9b (CEV)

You had wandered away like sheep. Now you have returned to the one who is your shepherd and protector. ~ 1 Peter 2:25 (CEV)

KEY IDEA:
It's time to turn to the Lord because he is your shepherd and protector.
PRAYER:
Lord, it is so easy for us to run away like naughty sheep. There are so many interesting things out there -- all of them in someway dangerous. But we like taking unhealthy risks. Please cure us of that bad habit. I am turning to you and trusting you to be the shepherd who will take care of me. I am counting on Jesus the Good Shepherd. Thank you for protecting me. Amen.
