The One
How many times have you talked about how I am the good shepherd who will leave the ninety-nine to go after the one? Oh, how you love me and thanked me for coming after you. Yet, some of you have forgotten that you were that one. You have stopped praying for people to come to know me, and have instead started to beg me to come back, today. Even complaining, when is soon, Lord?
I wanted to remind you that I am not delayed or late in coming. I am coming back – that is a promise – but I am patiently waiting for the one, just like I waited for you.
As it says in 2 Peter 3:15 (NLT): And remember, our Lord’s patience gives people time to be saved…
Activation: Rejoice each day that I have not returned for that means there is at least one more soul to be saved. And look for those around you that don’t know me. Share with them who I am.
And Pray that the lost would be found.
Psalm 99:1-5 (ESV)
The Lord reigns; let the peoples tremble!
He sits enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake!
The Lord is great in Zion;
he is exalted over all the peoples.
Let them praise your great and awesome name!
Holy is he!
The King in his might loves justice.[a]
You have established equity;
you have executed justice
and righteousness in Jacob.
Exalt the Lord our God;
worship at his footstool!
Holy is he!
