The scriptures. May God bless the reading of His holy word.
“Return, faithless people,” declares the Lord,
“for I am your husband. I will choose you—one from a town and two from a
clan—and bring you to Zion. Then I will give you shepherds after My own heart,
who will lead you with knowledge and understanding.”
Jeremiah
3:14-15
This ends today’s reading from God's holy
word. Thanks be to God.
Have you ever found yourself lost in life and needing
guidance, possibly after failing and falling as result of sin?
I think we all have been there and if you haven’t, just
wait because a time will come in your life when you will experience it.
So where can we find the direction we’re looking for in
these times?
The answer is found in two verses as we continue our study
of Jeremiah 3. Look again at these words:
“Return,
faithless people,” declares the Lord, “for I am your husband. I will choose
you—one from a town and two from a clan—and bring you to Zion. Then I will give
you shepherds after My own heart, who will lead you with knowledge and
understanding.” Jeremiah 3:14-15
As we saw in yesterday’s devotion, any starting point for
reconciliation with the Lord when we have sinned requires that we return to Him
and acknowledge our sins through repentance. The Lord is always calling on His
lost ones to come back to Him, and when they do, He will provide shepherds for
them to lead them to where He wants them to be, to a place of knowledge and
understanding of what He expects and how to live in a way that meets those
expectations.
So who has been your provided shepherd?
The Lord could use anyone for the role.
Maybe He gives you shepherding through your pastor or
Sunday School teacher. Maybe He provides shepherding through a parent or other
loved one. Maybe He sends you shepherding through a counselor. And maybe, just
maybe, He might even use a blog writer like myself to spiritually shepherd you
through the words He gives me to write every day.
At least, that is my prayer and motivation through The
Christian Walk Ministry and I hope it is a daily blessing to you as I share
what the Lord places on my heart through the work of the Holy Spirit.
One thing is certain. The Lord will provide a shepherd to
anyone who has strayed from His path of righteousness into sin. All they need
to do is show a desire to return to Him and repent.
Amen.
In
Christ,
Mark
