Reading God’s Word: Matthew 18:10-20; Psalm 41

Memorizing God’s Word: Psalm 40:4 Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods.

Meditating on God’s Word: Matthew 18:12 “What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off?

Praying God’s Word: “Lord, how often have I been the one sheep that wandered off? According to your Word, all have gone astray, and all have turned aside. We have gone looking for greener pastures than the ones the Good Shepherd has brought us to, only to find out it doesn’t satisfy. But every time, you are faithful to pursue us, to convict us, to grab ahold of us, and to get our attention! Thank you for not giving up on me, and for always going after the one. Amen.”
