Today’s Promise
God Carries Me in His Arms
Isaiah 40:10
He will tend his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms; he will carry them in his bosom, and gently lead those that are with young.
Jesus As Your Shepherd
One of the most consistent pictures of our relationship with God is that of the shepherd and His sheep. Jesus called himself the “good” shepherd. As the good shepherd, He is always caring for His sheep. He knows His sheep by name, and they hear His voice. As a good shepherd, He was even willing to lay down His life for us, His sheep.
Jesus cares for you the way a good shepherd cares for His sheep. Psalm 23:2 says he leads His sheep to green pastures and places of rest. As the Good Shepherd, God is your provider and protector.
Your Good Shepherd
As your good shepherd, He also carries you in His arms. The shepherd carries the older sheep on His shoulders. It’s not the most comfortable place for the sheep having your legs held together and your head left to bobble around.
When the shepherd needs to carry a weak, sick, or young sheep, He carries it in his arms close to his chest. The sheep can rest its head against the shepherd. It’s a place of security and rest.
He Carries You
On your weakest days, when you are struggling or hurting, Jesus comes along, picks you up, and carries you close to His heart. He watches over you with tender care.
Finally, your good shepherd gently leads you. Like all sheep, it’s easy to get distracted and wander away from the right path. In those times, Jesus comes along and gently guides you back to where you need to be.
Look at that promise again.
He will tend his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms; he will carry them in his bosom, and gently lead those that are with young. – Isaiah 40:11
Make these confessions.
- Jesus is my great shepherd.
- He provides for my every need.
- When I am weak, he carries me close to His heart.
- He gently leads me on the path I should follow.
In Jesus name,
Amen.

From December 2012 to 2021 God has been carrying me and comforting me during some really hard emotional times. In the past 10 years we have had 9 family members die, 2 of those in the same month and we lost 3 of our pets all within months of each other. I know where my family is & I will see them again and for that I am grateful. They are with Jesus and finally pain free at last. Praise God. Grief is a hard thing to have to walk through and iy has many twists and turns and bumps along the way snd just when you think you have cried the final year and felt the final heartbreak, grief tides roll back over you and knock you down. It Will take time, God will heal the pain, the heartache of loss and until He fully restores you. Hold on to Him, talk to him, share your sorrows with Him. He loves you. He understands and He is and has been with you through it all. Thank you Jesus. You are my Rock, my safe place in life’s storms.
Thank you dear Lord and savior for continuing to carry us through this storm. Our health and complete healing is in His loving hands as are we. Glory be to God!
thanks
AMEN; THANKYOUJESUS;AMEN???!!!!
