God has a plan for you


Today's Verse is Mark 6:34
And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things. 

We have a Saviour--a God--that cares for people. When he sees us, he sees us as we are, for what we need, not so much for what we deserve. This passage here is the beginning of the feeding of the five thousand. And Christ's first response was not to feed them food, but to feed or give them direction. For more than our daily subsistence, we need to know the way our God would have us go. How do we follow God? How can we both know what God would have us do, and how to do it? We consume ourselves in Christ. As we read in Proverbs: "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart;/ And lean not unto thine own understanding./ In all thy ways acknowledge him,/ And he shall direct thy paths." Our God, Jesus, wants to shew us the way He wants us to go, what he wants us to do, and he promises to do just that. So look to Him, read His Word, Go to His house (wherever the Saints--His people--are assembling) and He will make what you should do known.

To God be the Glory
Scott
