Good Morning!
Let’s focus our day by spending some time with Jesus before it begins.
THANK. Write down 3-5 things you’re thankful for in the last 24 hours.
WORSHIP. Pick a song from one of our Spotify Playlists and let it play in the background.
READ. Today’s scripture reading is from Ezekiel 34-35 (Go Deeper: Psalm 23:1-4 & John 10:11-14)
THINK. A Thought from Pastor Dave…
Remember when you were younger? Whether you were hungry, sick, hurt, or lost, you likely had someone you could turn to for comfort, compassion, and care. Maybe it was a parent, grandparent, sibling, friend, or other relative… but hopefully, someone felt safe. Someone was “home.” People tend to stay close to those who care about them. We’re kind of like sheep in that way. Without the care of a shepherd, people tend to scatter. And when that happens, we can become weak, sick, get hurt, and get lost. Over the last few years, many have “scattered” from church, or even families. We do the same to God. Thankfully, we have a God who cares, who is our sou'l’s home, and who never stops seeking us. You can never go too far. He’ll always leave the 99 to come after you. He’s still searching you out today. Because He loves you. He cares for you. And He wants to comfort you, pick you up, and bring you back home. He’s the Good Shepherd. Do you need strength? Is your heart sick and in need of healing? Are you hurting or lost? Run to Jesus, not away. Do you know someone who is “scattered” - weak, sick, hurting, or lost? Shepherd them. Show them you care today by searching them out and showing them love.
LIVE. One practical way to understand and apply the Bible is the SOS method. Ask…
S: What does this passage say about God, and what does it say about me?
O: What am I being invited to obey?
S: What can I share with those around me?
PRAY. Pray for yourself, a family member, a friend, someone who doesn’t know Jesus, and the nations.
