HE SHALL FEED HIS FLOCK

As a sheep I don't know what I need to nourish me. To come to the Word, which is our daily bread, and be utterly dependent on the Father to feed me is liberating and quenches the most arid places in my soul. As Spurgeon says on the first morning of his devotional, Morning and Evening, "O for grace to feed on Jesus, and so to eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan this year!"

"...for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, through which those who were thus occupied were not benefited." Hebrews 13:9

"I will feed them in a good pasture, and their grazing ground will be on the mountain heights of Israel. There they will lie down in good grazing ground, and they will feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. I will feed My flock and I will lead them to rest, declares the Lord God." Ezekiel 34:14-15

"Hear, O my people, and I will admonish you; O Israel, if you would listen to Me! Let there be no strange god among you; nor shall you worship any foreign god. I, the Lord, am your God, Who brought you up from the land of Egypt; open your mouth wide and I will fill it. But I would feed you with the finest of the wheat; and with honey from the rock I would satisfy you." Psalm 81:8-10, 16

"Like a shepherd He will tend His flock, in His arm He will gather the lambs, and carry them in His bosom; He will gently lead the nursing ewes." Isaiah 40:11

"...dwell in the land and feed on His faithfulness." Psalm 37:3b

"Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you..." Colossians 3:16a
