11/16/11 My breath prayer for the day comes from Ezekiel 34:11, "For thus says the Lord God: I myself will search for my sheep, and will seek them out." We know the familiar words of the 23rd Psalm, "The Lord is my shepherd." Similiar imagery is found here in the prophet Isaiah. We have a God who doesn't want a single one of his sheep to go missing, to be lost. We have a God who is not far off, uninvolved, unconcerned, but one who is near, invested, and concerned. For this God, they are "my" sheep. For this God, "I myself" will look for them. With this God, it's personal.
Love,
Lynn
