The sheep that's gone astray...!

Isaiah 53:6 NKJV

All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

† Shalom †......! Day #315. Do you know that many of us have gone astray from the truth of God and begun to walk and live in our own ways? Let's pray. Father, forgive us for walking away from Your truth and living our lives out of Your truth and out of Your ways. Lead us back to the Cross, where You found us once. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends,  many of us tend to walk our own ways and discard the Lord's ways. We are like sheep have gone astray. Now,  I'm not a shepherd boy but, I think I know what it takes to shepherd a flock. If a sheep has gone astray, the shepherd will go all out just find that one sheep and bring back and I can relate this to a parable Jesus said. The shepherd will be happy to know that lost sheep has beem found. This is how God feels.  We tend to go on our own ways, despite the warnings from God, yet we still choose go own our ways and once we regret we need God to come to our rescue.

Why we tend to go on our own ways? Because we find it difficult to abide and walk in His ways because we feel it's so difficult to understand, obey all that He has command us to do and to live by it. In Proverbs 19:3 NKJV says that "The foolishness of a man twists his way, And his heart frets against the Lord." A man in his foolishness thinks that all his ways are pleasing yet little does he knows that it is leading to death. If today ypu have gone astray from the ways of the Lord, now is the time to come back to Him. His ways are higher than our ways, His thoughts are higher that our thoughts.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
