He Will Feed His Flock
See, the Lord GOD comes with might,
and his arm rules for him; his reward is with him, and his recompense before
him. He will feed his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his
arms, and carry them in his bosom, and gently lead the mother sheep.
Have you not known? Have you not
heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives
power to the faint, and strengthens the powerless. Even youths will faint and
be weary, and the young will fall exhausted; but those who wait for the LORD
shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they
shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
If we have been hurt badly, we may
wonder how we can live with a painful past. God could take away our pain
instantly and forever, if He chose to. Often, though, He heals us slowly and
scars remain. He carries us and gently leads us as a shepherd cares for His
flock.
We may not be
healed completely in this life,
but we can count
on God’s promises.
Those who wait
on the Lord shall renew their strength.
