"He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young." -Isaiah 40:11
Gabriel is standing in for a lamb today to illustrate the scripture. I have to carry him like this whenever I take him up a flight a stairs because his short legs need a running start to manage even a few steps, and going down looks too daunting for him so he doesn't even try.
In today's Our Daily Bread the commentary by Monica Brands points out that "Isaiah 40 is the first Old Testament text that explicitly articulates the theme of 'good news' (v.9) so important in the New Testament. This good news is that God's powerful love in our lives does not depend on us."
I am grateful for God's love that carries me through all circumstances.
