The Shepherd's Compassion

We Worship God
A Guide for Worship Leaders:
Thankful Worship

Matthew 9:35-38 (The Message)
 ^35-38Then Jesus made a circuit of all the towns and villages. He taught in their meeting places, reported kingdom news, and healed their diseased bodies, healed their bruised and hurt lives. When he looked out over the crowds, his heart broke. So confused and aimless they were, like sheep with no shepherd. "What a huge harvest!" he said to his disciples. "How few workers! On your knees and pray for harvest hands!"

For Reflection
The shepherd metaphor continues.  Confused, aimless and leaderless, we like sheep wander aimlessly.  In what way are you working for the Shepherd?

Pray
for more opportunities to serve the Lord than you can possibly complete in a life time.  Pray to work diligently to accomplish a holy harvest.
