August 29
Introduction
The people of Israel and Judah are described like lost sheep without a leader, but the LORD promises to have compassion on them, care for the people, and punish their enemies. (See also Matthew 9:36 that speaks of Jesus’s pity for the people “because they were worried and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.”)
Scripture Reading
Zechariah 10:1-12
Today’s Key Verse: Zechariah 10:12
“I will make my people strong; they will worship and obey me.” The LORD has spoken.
Reflect
According to verse 2, whom do the people consult? Why are the people compared to lost sheep? In what ways does the LORD promise to care for the people? In what ways does God care for you?
Pray
Lord God, you alone revive my soul, and you surround me with your loving presence. You fill my heart with joy, and I promise to worship and obey you. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those in need of direction and guidance
Tomorrow’s Reading
