Reflections
Psalm 100: 1-2, 3, 5 (Read)
"We are God's people,
the sheep of his flock."
The Psalm begins with a call for us to 'sing joyfully to the Lord.' And as our psalmist says, we are called to 'worship the Lord with cries of gladness; come before Him with joyful song.'
But after all, we are like sheep,
and we need someone to look
after us so that we don't go astray.
What could be better than to have Jesus
as our Good Shepherd? We are his
lambs; we hear his voice; He knows
us; and we follow Him.
As our psalmist says, we belong to God.
And God has given us to his Son. No one
can take us out of his hand.
We are a well tended flock indeed.
As our Lord's sheep, we hear his voice,
we follow Him, and we praise Him because,
'Good indeed is the Lord, his love endures
forever, his faithfulness lasts through every
generation.'
Amen
