Have you ever noticed how easy it is to forget God? That may sound strange but it’s so true.

We have a million different “shepherds” we can let lead us. Everything from TV, social media, movies, music, work, and friends.

We can get lost for hours binge watching or playing games. Generally speaking video games, TV, etc. aren’t the problem. It’s our hearts that has the problem.

We are not unlike Israel who wanted a king when they already had the King of the universe. We tend to want what everyone else has and will follow any ‘shepherd’ to get it.

In so doing, we get ourselves into difficult places of grief, addiction, depression, and jealousy. We forget the rest and joy we had in God and trudge on feeling all alone.

It’s the enemy’s tactic to keep you feeling alone, worthless, unusable by God, and hopeless. None of these things could be further from the truth.

There is only One Shepherd who truly knows what’s best for us; Jesus. He loves you, even when you have allowed other shepherds to lead you astray.

He has the authority to forgive sins and restore your relationship with your Heavenly Father. You simply need to sincerely ask for forgiveness and return to Him. Let Him be your Shepherd that leads you to living water and rest.

A sheep needs a shepherd. Let Jesus be yours today.
