"There is no greater comfort than to know that someone will
protect you,
fight for you
and rescue you--
risk his very life for you.
This is the description of your Good Shepherd."
Jennifer Rothschild
Pslam 23:The Shepherd With Me p.129

My heart is racing with excitement.
Rothschild directed her readers to 1 Samuel to see the heart of a shepherd. I believe the heart of your shepherd, and mine.
Check this out:
" . . . your servant was tending his father's sheep. When a lion or bear came and took a lamb from the flock,
I went after him and attacked him, and
rescued it from his mouth;
and when he rose against me, I seized him by his beard and struck him and killed him." 1 Samuel 17: 34-35 NAS
God takes an attack against His sheep personally.
Think Prodigal.
If you are responsible for pulling
God's child away from Him, you better be scared.
If you are a Prodigal's
parent, spouse, or friend,
CELEBRATE AND ANTICIPATE.
You're on the winning team!
Gentle Shepherd?
Not so much
Not when His sheep are in danger.
Loving Him,
lonnie
