Bible Verse of The Day – 1-4-24

John 10:14-15 (NKJV) 14 I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. 15 As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.

And I know My sheep.

That right there brings me so much comfort.

As we all know, at times we can be tested. Sometimes our thoughts and emotions will have us saying, “God, are you there?”.

We can surely know now that He would go the extra mile for us.

Why? Because He’s already done it.

David would often plead with Him, “do not hide from me oh, Lord. Come quickly and save me”.

Psalm 69:17 (NKJV) 17 And do not hide Your face from Your servant, For I am in trouble; Hear me speedily.

We aren’t the only ones who need God to act fast. David seemed to always be battling enemies.

Believe me when I tell you, God already knows. But, He still wants us to come to Him. He wants us to lean on Him; to run to Him and tell Him, like David, “I’m in deep trouble”.

Acknowledging the state we are in will cause us to get serious.

I don’t think David was playing games when He cried out. He knew where His help came from, and we need to know God is there.

His righteous right hand will hold us up.

Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV) 10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

He is known by His sheep.

Amen.
