“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep.
John 10:11
God’s way is perfect. All the Lord ’s promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to him for protection.
Psalm 18:30
Jesus also said, “The Kingdom of God is like a farmer who scatters seed on the ground. Night and day, while he’s asleep or awake, the seed sprouts and grows, but he does not understand how it happens. The earth produces the crops on its own. First a leaf blade pushes through, then the heads of wheat are formed, and finally the grain ripens.
Mark 4:26-28
Nourishing God, we desire to partner with you in flinging seeds of love, joy, compassion, and justice into the world. Forgive us when we stray from your fertile soil of abundant life. Set our feet back on the way. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
