Jan20

"He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young." Isaiah 40:11

                                        He Sets His Pace to Ours
                        Along a rough and rocky road, Or by a field of flowers,
                        He sees our bruised and weary feet, And sets His pace to ours.
                        We may walk in a shady glen, Where streams so peaceful flow;
                        No matter where the path may wind, We know that He will go.
                        But even strangers often walk A pathway filled with flowers;
                        They leave us when the path gets rough, But His pace stays with ours.

                        He knows each rough and rocky road, Because His feet once trod,
                        The pathway leading to the cross, The blessed Son of God.
                        So whether on a desert road, Or where a mountain towers,
                        We must not be discouraged when His pace is set to ours.
                        Our stumbling steps will never make Him leave us all alone,
                        For He will only take our hand ~ His pace will match our own!

                                                                                     ~Gertrude B. McClain

The Lord is our Shepherd, gently caring for and guiding His flock. He is powerful, yet careful and gentle. He is with us with each step that we take ~ no matter the pace that we set. As His sheep, we can rely on our Shepherd's caring strength. And when there are times you feel you just can't take another step my friend, He will carry you. What a wonderful Shepherd we have! All knowing, all caring, all loving! Forevermore.

May God bless you as you remember "He Sets His Pace to Ours!

Much Love in Christ Jesus, Sandy
