ONE SHEEP
Today's reading: Matthew 18-20
"If a shepherd has one hundred sheep, and one wanders away and is lost, what will he do? Won't he leave the ninety-nine others and go out into the hills to search for the lost one? And if he finds it, he will surely rejoice over it more than over the ninety-nine that didn't wander away! In the same way, it is not my heavenly Father's will that even one of these little ones should perish." Matthew 18:12-14 NLT
If you're praying for a lost sheep--keep praying.
If you're praying for a sheep that's wandered off--keep praying.
If you're praying for a sheep that constantly breaks out of the fence and strikes off on their own--keep praying.
If you're praying for a sheep that thinks they don't need a Shepherd--keep praying.
You see, praying they come back, puts you in good company. It places your prayers in accordance with the Lord's!
He doesn't want them lost. He doesn't want them wandering. He doesn't want them off on their own. He knows they need Him.
It isn't His will they be any where but safe in His pasture, well within His care, surrounded by His blessings and secure in His salvation.
Keep praying His will be done.
