A Seed From
The Sower
-Michael Guido
Nearly all of us have some method for planning our daily
activities. With no plan to follow, our time will likely be
wasted and our days meaningless. Often, however, our
carefully detailed plans can be completely disrupted by an
emergency or unexpected demand. In Psalm 92, however,
we find a simple way to open and close each day and bring
God’s presence into our lives.
The Psalmist suggests that we begin the day with a
“proclamation” - we are to “proclaim the love of God.” If
we begin each day by proclaiming the love that God has for
us, it will remind us that we are safe and secure in His love
and that nothing or no one can destroy us. Then, as the day
unfolds and when the unexpected occurs and things seem
upside down, we can know that He is holding us close to
Himself and that He will protect us from that which might
harm us. It is in His love that we are safe and secure. As
Paul wrote, “Nothing can separate us from the love of God
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” It is His love that keeps
us close to Him and no one or nothing can break this bond
that comes from Him.
As we end each day, we are advised to praise God for
His faithfulness. Indeed, by His grace He has brought us
through another day and He has proven Himself to be
trustworthy. Even when tragedy strikes or the light of His
presence is dim, we have the assurance that He is with us.
If “things” look bad today, we can always look back at
our “yesterdays” and see God at work in our lives and
praise Him for His trustworthiness and faithfulness.

ll:OOam - Sunday Morning Praise & Worship
Words of
Encouragement

Pastor Oak Hill
Baptist Church, Millen
“Jesus is the Good Shepherd”
In John 10:10-11 Jesus said, “The thief comes only
to steal and kill and destroy. I came to know that they
may have life and have it abundantly. I am the good
shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for
the sheep.”
Have you ever been harassed? Being harassed
means being aggressively pressured. Maybe you’ve
been harassed by your boss, or your spouse, or your
children, or just one of those pushy people selling
something in the center of the mall.
Jesus was harassed by crowds often during His
earthly ministry. His disciples even complained about
it! But you know what? Jesus never felt like the
people in the crowds had come to harass Him. He
felt like they had come to Him because they were
being harassed themselves.
In fact, the truth is that Jesus came to them because
He knew they were harassed. Matthew 9:36 says,
“When Jesus saw the crowds, he had compassion for
them, because they were harassed and helpless, like
sheep without a shepherd.” Jesus felt compassion for
them - He was moved to the depths of His being with
hurt and love for the crowds - because they were
harassed, helpless, and hurting.
This life harasses us. I know you’ve felt it. Maybe
you feel it right now. Life pulls us from pillar to post
and then our body slams us. Jesus doesn't want you
to be harassed, He wants you to find abundant life
in Him. When He looks at you, He doesn't focus on
your failures and mistakes - He has compassion for
you. He sees your troubles and heartache. He sees
your need for a Shepherd who will lead and protect
you because He loves you.
Jesus, “I am the good shepherd. I lay down my life
for the sheep.” Jesus said that He came to give you
abundant life. Will you let Him be your Shepherd?
Will you believe in His promise of abundant life and
ask Him for it?
In John 10:9 Jesus said, “I am the door. If anyone
enters by me, he will be saved and go in and out and
find good pasture.” Jesus is the door that we walk
through to find abundant life. When we walk through
that door in faith - we enter a completely new life
where we belong to Him - the Good Shepherd.
