The Sheep of His Pasture?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for all those who realize they are the sheep of your pasture. In Jesus’ name, amen.
“Come Let Us Worship and Bow Down” from Maranatha! Music includes lyrics by David Doherty.
Come, let us worship and bow down
And kneel before the Lord, our Maker
Come, let us worship and bow down
And kneel before the Lord, our Maker.
He is our God, He is our God
We are the people of His pasture
He is our God, He is our God
We are the sheep of His hand.
Psalm 100:1-5 (ESV) includes a line in verse three about the sheep of his pasture that mirrors the sentiment of the song.
“Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!
Know that the Lord, he is God!
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name!
For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness to all generations.”
I hope you are one of the sheep of God’s pasture. Rejoice if you are. If not, why not draw close to God, and he will draw close to you.
