Psalms 147:5-6
5 Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.
6 The LORD sustains the humble but casts the wicked to the ground.
Psalms 62:11
One thing God has spoken, two things have I heard: that you, O God, are strong,
Psalms 63:1=2
1 O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
2 I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory.
Isaiah 40:29-31
29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Mark 6:34
When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.
Thoughts on Today's Verse....
Jesus reminds us of the incredible importance of teaching. While we might have expected miracles or wonders arising out of Jesus' compassion, what shepherd less sheep most need is good, solid, down to earth, practical teaching from a teacher who knows them and cares for them.
Thoughts
. The highest motive for serving God is the desire to please Him.
. A friend of God will be a stranger to the world.
. To love God is to obey God.
. Broken things become useful in God’s hands.
. Sooner or later you’ll have to face God.
