He Is And He Will - Zephaniah 3:17
The LORD your God is with you,
He is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.

My Strength And My Shield - Psalm 28:7
The LORD is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped.
My heart leaps for joy,
and I will give thanks to Him in song.

The Shepherd's Promise - Isaiah 42:16
I will lead the blind by ways
they have not known,
along unfamiliar paths
I will guide them;
I will turn the darkness into light
I will turn the darkness into light
before them
and make the rough places
and make the rough places
smooth.
These are the things I will do;
I will not forsake them.
These are the things I will do;
I will not forsake them.

Where Are Your Eyes?
Imagine a scene as if in a play,
where the characters are in an area
lit by a spotlight,
while the area outside of the spotlight
is shadowy.
The characters in the spotlight
are a flock of sheep,
along with their
Shepherd.
Some of the sheep are content
in the Shepherd's
care,
and are thankful for the sunny day
and the rich pasture.
They are
trusting their tomorrows
to their Shepherd’s care,
knowing that He is the same
yesterday, today and forever.
Their focus is on today,
and on their Shepherd.
However, many of the sheep
are standing at the edge of the spotlight,
peering anxiously into the
shadows of the future.
They are worried
about what
the future might hold
that they might not like,
and they are
trying to figure out
how they will handle things
they imagine might
happen tomorrow.
Even though their Shepherd
is the same yesterday,
today and forever,
they are unable to see Him
in the shadows of the
future.
Their focus is on tomorrow,
and not on their Shepherd.
Where are your eyes?
Two sheep were in a park;
one saw light, the other saw dark.
