In Psalm 23:4, The Bible says, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me, your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”
A Staff is used by a Shepherd to guide His sheep (us). The Shepherd uses the curved end to catch a sheep that is straying. It’s reassuring that Jesus goes after a sheep that strays and brings him back home. Because let’s face it, at some point, most of us stray at least a little.
And it’s comforting to know that Jesus doesn’t just let us go. He comes after us and brings us home ?
So thank you Jesus for all the times you have come after me. Thank you Father for your constant and never ending Mercy. And Thank You Holy Spirit for helping me understand God’s Great Love For All Of Us. Amen 🙂
