Trusting.....

"He will feed his flock like a shepherd.  He will carry the lambs in his arms, holding them close to his heart.  He will gently lead the mother sheep with their young."  (Isaiah 40:11 NLT)

Christmas season, celebrating Jesus' birthday - the Good Shepherd.  This morning's God time is about trusting God.  We know God keeps God's promises.  We are getting ready to celebrate Epiphany - the Wise Men bringing gifts to the Christ child.  I brought up "what if..." on Sunday so I want to suggest a "what if."  "What if" the gift we bring, to the Christ child (Emmanuel, Good Shepherd) is doing what God is calling us to do?  What if we trusted all of the "do not fear" we see in Scripture?

O God, we thank you for being the Good Shepherd holding, and guiding, us.  We thank you that we can trust​ your promises.   Amen
