Sheep among wolves

I was grasping at straws.

JR was unraveling in front of me on his supper break at 2130hrs.

There was nothing I could say and what I tried fell flat.

He left and I crawled into bed to pray. I opened my Bible. We needed words full of truth to cut through the chaff. I continued on my reading Matthew and the the Lord answered my heart.

Reading of the Disciples being sent out...

"Look, I am sending you out as sheep among wolves. Be as wary as snacks and harmless as doves." Matthew 10:16

The rest of the verses read on to say what the disciples would face and it wasn't a pretty picture.

There is no easy road to eternity. As a Christian what we experience here on earth though is the worst it will ever get.

JR is a sheep among wolves right now. I have to trust that the Lord, his shepherd will lead and guide, protect and encourage.

Praying for encouragement today...
