Great Shepherd Helps His Sheep
Hebrews closes with an appeal for
a persevering Faith that relies on
the promises of God regardless
of the circumstances. Writing to
an audience whose actions were
being shaped by pressure from
the world rather than promises
from God, the author urges the
kind of Faith-inspired walk that
characterised so many OT saints.
Being so convinced of God’s
Faithfulness, they ordered their
lives according to His Word.
Follow their commendable example
and walk by Faith; and not by sight.
Lord, we’ll Hold On to Your Word:
Be content for He Himself has said:
I’ll Never Leave You nor forsake you.
So we may boldly say: The Lord
is my helper; I will not fear. What
can man do to me? (Heb 13:5-6)
(For) Jesus Christ is The Same
yesterday, today and forever (v8).
May the God of peace,
who through the blood of the
eternal covenant brought back
from the dead our Lord Jesus,
that Great Shepherd of the Sheep,
equip you with everything good
for doing His will, and may He
work in us what is pleasing to Him
through Jesus Christ, to whom
be glory forever and ever. (V20-21).
Lord, thank You for the promise that You will be Always With us in times of great trouble. Thank You that You are my God and my Saviour; and that You love me and I’m precious to You. Grateful Lord for Your presence, protection and shalom peace. You are the one true God and the only One who saves. Amen.
Lord Jesus, thanks that You never change, which give me confidence. Your immutability means so much for I can trust that Your words and character are as trustworthy now as when You were on earth. So, I can trust Your promises; and I can rely firmly on the fact that You are always compassionate; that You will never give up on me & that You’ll always be with me. Amen
Lord Jesus and Great Shepherd of the Sheep, prepare me for what You are preparing for me. Strengthen and equip me with every good thing so that I can do Your will. Open my heart to the working of Yr Spirit so that my life will Honour You. Produce in me, through the power of Christ all that is pleasing to You so that I’ll be Complete in You. Amen
