His Word Stands Fast Forever

 In Isaiah chapter 40 we hear of the promised Shepherd of Israel, Who will graciously tend His flock like a shepherd and gather the little lambs into His arm. Here we discover the One Who will carry them in His bosom and gently lead those that are nursing their young.
 The God of the Old and New testaments is the same yesterday, today and forever. His Word Stands Fast Forever and His truth never changes. As we journey through the 66 books of the Bible we see a beautiful unfolding of God's gracious character and plan of salvation. As we trace the story of redemption through its precious pages.. The Shepherd of God's people is fully and finally revealed in the face of Jesus Christ - and the chapters of Isaiah seem to be a beautiful unfolding of this never-ending story of GRACE.
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.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word and the truth it contains. May we read, mark, learn and inwardly digest all that You will teach us and may we grow in grace and in a knowledge of You so that we may not be ashamed when we stand before Your throne, in Jesus name we pray, AMEN.
