Thought for Tuesday December 6


The Lord our God comes with power.
Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice;
let the sea and what fills it resound;
let the plains be joyful and all that is in them!
Then let all the trees of the forest rejoice.
The Lord our God comes with power.

Matthew 18: 12 – 14  Jesus said to his disciples: “What is your opinion?  If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine in the hills and go in search of the stray?

Does my answer change depending on whether I see myself as the 1 rescued or one of the 99 left alone?  If I am one of the 99, what responsibility do I have to the shepherd and the stray?

Action:  Look out for the one likely to go astray.
