You who bring good news to Zion, go up on a high mountain. You who bring good news to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with a shout, lift it up, do not be afraid; say to the towns of Judah, “Here is your God!” See, the Sovereign LORD comes with power, and he rules with a mighty arm. See, his reward is with him, and his recompense accompanies him. He tends his flock like a shepherd; he gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young.
Gracious God and Heavenly Father,
Lord Jesus, We should loudly proclaim who you are and what you have done for us to the world. We should shout it from the rooftops! You are holy and powerful to save. You bless those who love you and believe in you. You are the Almighty but you are also our gentle, loving Shepherd. You watch over us, you keep us close and you protect us when we are vulnerable. How wonderful it is to have a God who is our Father, our Shepherd, our Redeemer. Keep us in your flock. Bring us back home when we stray. Thank you for loving us, being patient with us, and guiding us.
In Christ’s name we pray. AMEN
