The Good Shepherd
 Toni Smothers
 
Scripture Reading: Hebrews 6:16-20

Scripture Quote: "My people have been lost sheep; their shepherds have led them astray and caused them to roam on the mountains. They wandered over mountain and hill and forgot their own resting place.” Jeremiah 50:6 (NIV)
 
Whatever is pure or excellent is from God - Whatever is selfish, mean spirited or evil comes from mankind. We are a pitiable people who Christ has redeemed. Without Jesus abiding in us, we don't know how to apply Scripture or live out our convictions. We need Devine help to handle business decisions, financial matters, or for resolving conflicts. Jesus helps us access the character of others so we can understand their needs - He is the only reason we would care about the needs of others. It is His compassion in us that leads us to care. Our natural inclination is to care about ourselves exclusively.
 
God occupies no one place in the universe. God fills the heavens and the earth, is everywhere present, sees all, rules over all, and shines upon all. He dispenses his blessings equally and is loving to every Believer. Jesus, the perfect Son of God, is the Christian's resting place - If we forget that, we will follow after other false shepherds and loose our way. But when we follow the Good Shepherd, our path is loaded with God's good will and His perfect guidance.
 
Today’s meditation: We are lost sheep who need to follow Jesus.
 
Memory Verse:  Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17 (NIV)

Lectura bíblica: Hebreos 6: 16-20

Cita de las Escrituras: "Mi pueblo ha sido oveja perdida, sus pastores los han descarriado y los han hecho vagar por las montañas. Vagaron por la montaña y la colina y olvidaron su propio lugar de reposo". Jeremías 50: 6 (NVI)
 
Todo lo que es puro o excelente proviene de Dios: todo lo que es egoísta, malvado o maligno proviene de la humanidad. Somos una gente lastimosa que Cristo ha redimido. Sin que Jesús permanezca en nosotros, no sabemos cómo aplicar las Escrituras o vivir nuestras convicciones. Necesitamos ayuda de Devine para manejar decisiones comerciales, asuntos financieros o para resolver conflictos. Jesús nos ayuda a acceder al carácter de los demás para que podamos entender sus necesidades. Él es la única razón por la que nos interesarían las necesidades de los demás. Es su compasión en nosotros lo que nos lleva a preocuparnos. Nuestra inclinación natural es cuidarnos a nosotros mismos exclusivamente.
 
Dios no ocupa ningún lugar en el universo. Dios llena los cielos y la tierra, está presente en todas partes, ve todo, gobierna sobre todos y brilla sobre todos. Él dispensa sus bendiciones por igual y ama a cada Creyente. Jesús, el perfecto Hijo de Dios, es el lugar de descanso del cristiano. Si lo olvidamos, seguiremos a otros falsos pastores y perderemos nuestro camino. Pero cuando seguimos al Buen Pastor, nuestro camino está cargado con la buena voluntad de Dios y su guía perfecta.
 
Meditación de hoy: somos ovejas perdidas que necesitan seguir a Jesús.
 
Verso para memorizar: Todo don bueno y perfecto viene de arriba, descendiendo del Padre de las luces celestiales, que no cambia como sombras cambiantes. Santiago 1:17 (NVI)
