Like Sheep Without A Shepherd

When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Matthew 9:36

Hatred, evil, lying, and spreading false information are from the devil. When you look around at people say in the political world you just have to shake your head at times. Also those caught up in the world where they have accepted the culture’s ways above God’s ways. Having no remorse over the killing of innocent babies in the name of a ‘woman’s right to choose’. Definitely many lost wandering sheep out there wouldn’t you say? 

Yes mankind is like a sheep wandering around without a shepherd. Sheep are basically stupid animals and need to be guided by the shepherd to safety so they don’t get caught in barbed wire or fall off a cliff. Today’s verse let’s you know that God has compassion on all wandering souls. Even the ones who disavow any knowledge of Him or are far from Him he still loves and goes after. 

When you see or encounter those hateful souls out there don’t get mad but instead lift them up. In many cases they don’t know Jesus and have no desire to. They are overwhelmed in life with ugliness and sometimes feel there is no way out. Jesus is always the door to the way out to be lifted higher. Keep praying for those who wander. 

PRAYER: I pray for those people I know and don’t know who act ugly, mean, hateful, spiteful and need you in their lives. I pray for the God of truth to open their eyes to see you Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
