Psalms 119:176<\/b>\u00a0<\/a><\/span>\u00a0I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant, for I do not forget your commandments.<\/p>\n

Isaiah 53:6<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned\u2014every one\u2014to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.<\/p>\n

Ezekiel 34:16<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0I will seek the lost, and I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the injured, and I will strengthen the weak, and the fat and the strong I will destroy. I will feed them in justice.<\/p>\n

Matthew 18:12-13<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray?\u00a0\u00a0And if he finds it, truly, I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray.<\/p>\n

Luke 15:4-7<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0\u201cWhat man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?\u00a0\u00a0And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.\u00a0\u00a0And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, \u2018Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.\u2019\u00a0Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.<\/p>\n

John 10:16<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.<\/p>\n

1 Peter 2:25<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.<\/p>\n

Jeremiah 31:18<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0I have heard Ephraim grieving, \u2018You have disciplined me, and I was disciplined, like an untrained calf; bring me back that I may be restored, for you are the LORD my God.<\/p>\n

Galatians 4:9<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more?<\/p>\n

Hosea 4:6<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge<\/p>\n

Do you find yourself lost and life’s trials weighing you down? The Psalmist came to the understanding that apart from God we wander and get lost in life.\u00a0 Oh, we try to make sense of it but in the end we are just chasing one thing after another to fill the void of being apart from God.\u00a0 Always seeking but never finding that which fulfills our soul.<\/p>\n

\u00a0You will find the more time you spend in God\u2019s word there is a continually new and ever increasing understanding need for God and your dependence upon Him.\u00a0 <\/span>Love for and dedication to the word of God does not make us more spiritually independent<\/i>, but more spiritually dependent<\/i> upon God.\u00a0 <\/span>The word of God leads us to salvation, repentance. understanding, deliverance, ability to worship God rightly,\u00a0\u00a0power to live an upright life, and strength to persevere.<\/p>\n

His word is a light onto our soul and a guide to\u00a0our feet.\u00a0 <\/span>Through His word\u00a0your are shown love, peace, joy, hope, faith, strength, and understanding.\u00a0 Humbly serve Him today and you will find Him more than sufficient.<\/p>\n
