God of the one - by Christo Jovner

 




Ever felt lost? Nowhere to go, don’t know what to do? On the verge of giving up? Perhaps it is circumstances out of your control or your own doing that brought you to the place where you are now? No situation is too desperate for God to help you! 

It reminds me of the parable of the lost sheep that Jesus once told. He will leave the 99 to go after the one. Jesus said of Himself in John 10:11 that “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.” 


Jesus fulfill the promise when he became the Shepherd that Matthew 2:6 quoted as a promise from Gen 49:10 “For out of you will come a Ruler who will shepherd My people Israel”. 


David also wrote in the well known Ps 23, “The Lord is my Shepherd…” The Amplified Bible has the following remark in brackets: (to feed, to guide and to shield). And this is what the Lord, the Good Shepherd, wants to be in our lives - He wants to provide (to feed) , He wants to give guidance (to guide) and He wants to protect us from harm (to shield). 


Will you give Him another chance? Never give up on Him, because He will never give up on you!
