Monday’s Message
Picture yourself holding the hand of a little one. You do that to keep them safe, to guide them and to protect them, right? What if we were to remember that we never walk alone?
Thanks for joining us today for Monday’s Message with Abigail Rice and Trench Classes United. Today’s poem/message is a great reminder that when we remember His hand is there for us to hold, we don’t walk alone and we won’t wander away.
Like a stubborn sheep
We bleat
and we moan
Not knowing which direction to go
While all along our Shepherd and Savior
Is right beside us
to guide us
Even though we stick our heads in places it shouldn’t go
Getting stuck in the fence
Trying to move forward
While He’s trying to pull us back in
His rod protecting us
From the temptations of this sin
His staff guiding us
Leading us to Him
We move one step towards Him
Only to go two steps back
Opening the gates
For spiritual attack
and in this ever present darkness
Our minds only see lack
Bleakness
and black
Yet we must remember
Even on the darkest of nights
The stars continue to shine
Our job?
When we feel stuck in the fence
Or lost in the dark
To listen for our Shepherd
and heed His call
For His sheep know His voice
and listen above all
The road will not be easy
For I’m afraid the veil is greatly thinning
So we must be on guard
and We must pick up our cross
Invite His Spirit in
Again and again
Forgiven
Is what you are
Do you hear your Shepherd’s call?
“The sheep that are My own hear and are listening to My voice; and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never lose it or perish throughout the ages. [To all eternity they shall never by any means be destroyed.] And no one is able to snatch them out of My hand.” – John 10:27-28
“Yes, though I walk through the [deep, sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil, for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort me.”
– Psalm 23:4
