No sheep left behind

Now all the tax-gatherers and the sinners were coming near Him to listen to Him. And both the Pharisees and the scribes {began} to grumble, saying, "This man receives sinners and eats with them." And He told them this parable, saying, "What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture, and go after the one which is lost, until he finds it? "And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. "And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!' "I tell you that in the same way, there will be {more} joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance. (Luke 15:1-7)

I wanted to share with those who read this blog of mine, to be reminded that the Lord rejoices over those who seek him, and he longs to look for the one lost sheep, than to be with a bunch that are saved. I pray that he would continue to seek after me. I know that I'm not perfect and need him to continue to lead me in his ways. Oh Lord I pray that I would not be self righteous, but that I would let you rejoice over me again and again.

Psalm 95

O come, let us sing for joy to the \Lord\; Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms. For the \Lord\ is a great God, And a great King above all gods, In whose hand are the depths of the earth; The peaks of the mountains are His also. The sea is His, for it was He who made it; And His hands formed the dry land. Come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the \Lord\ our Maker. For He is our God, And we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand. Today, if you would hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah, As in the day of Massah in the wilderness; "When your fathers tested Me, They tried Me, though they had seen My work. "For forty years I loathed {that} generation, And said they are a people who err in their heart, And they do not know My ways. "Therefore I swore in My anger, Truly they shall not enter into My rest."

If I'm not in his rest then I need to think about being more than 300 Ft. back. Today, if you would hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts. Seek Him the Lord longs to give us rest. Enter His Rest today.
