Like sheep

-

Yes, I have sent you out to those about you. But are your actions like the sheep or more like the wolves? You can do all things through me.

Your blessing of peace should be more evident that your name. I have not sent you to harass those who are not ready. Heal the sick. Stay where you are wanted; leave where I am rejected.

Be like sheep. They respond to the voice of their master.

After this, the Lord chose seventy-two others and sent them out in pairs ahead of him into every town and place where he planned to go.
He said to them, “There are a great many people to harvest, but there are only a few workers. So pray to God, who owns the harvest, that he will send more workers to help gather his harvest.
Go now, but listen! I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Luke 10:1-3 (NCV)

Do not be discouraged

Do not be discouraged. I am with you. Yes, I am working within you, despite what you don’t see or sense. I am with you. Drink-in the water I offer. Apply the balm of my peace to your restlessness. My words bring encouragement. Let them soak into your life. My ways bring wholeness, for now and in the time yet to be revealed. I am active within your life. Rest in me and do not allow discouragement to affect you. My love for you is ever-growing. It reveals itself as you allow me to work. Replace what you don’t see with my assurance. My words will come to pass. They never fail. There is nothing I have shown you that I will not perform. Let the water of my living word refresh you.

Out of the Water

-
Later, when the boy was older, his mother brought him back to Pharaoh’s daughter, who adopted him as her own son. The princess named him Moses, for she explained, “I lifted him out of the water.” Exodus 2:10 (NLT) I have known you before your birth and blessed you with my name. I have drawn you up, out of the waters and into my presence. Walk with me. Lean into me so I can steady your way. I have places yet for you to be going; lives yet for you to reach.
