Why are we living in fear today?

COVID-19,
Uncertainty of America’s future;

Racial Tension,
Financial difficulties.

Certainly these are all things that cause anxiety, but why fear?

Let me tell you about the Good Shepherd

The Lord is my Shepherd

The Shepherd’s job is to take care of the Sheep, right?

Scripture also tells us that we all like sheep have gone astray Isaiah 53:6

Look what He does vs 3

For His name’s sake.
When He takes care of you, people see Him

We hang out here basically our whole lives

Look at the rest of vs 4
I fear no evil!

Because You are with me!

Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me

Understand that this seems very strange to some people

The rod was used to punish the sheep when it got out of line

Not most people’s idea of comfort right?

The staff could be used to nudge and to rescue

He anoints us for healing and for a mission to reach people

Do you know the Good Shepherd?
