Shadow of The Shepherd

Have you ever driven on an unfamiliar road at night?  It's a little tricky, isn't it?  We don't know where the bends and turns are nor do we know how difficult they are to maneuver.  The absence of light and the presence of darkness only worsen matters.

 

The journey of life is much like that unfamiliar road; there are so very often unforeseen turns and twists that threaten demise or destruction.  The temptation to retreat or give up altogether is sometimes overwhelming.  Although the anxieties and frustrations are complex and larger than life, there is really no need to become disarmed or immobilized.  There is One Who has traveled the unfamiliar road, knows its tricky spots, and is willing to see us safely through.  His name is Jesus Christ, and what a Precious Friend is He!

 

WALKING IN THE SHADOW OF THE SHEPHERD

There is nowhere we can go that He has not been there before us --

We walk always in the shadow of His Presence and His Care

For the Shepherd doesn't call His sheep to unfamiliar pasture --

He has promised that, where we are, we will also find Him there.
