Stirred By The Scriptures

“Harassed and helpless” - those are the words used by Jesus to describe how he saw a group of people.  Ever been there? I think they are a fairly accurate picture of the days many of us live, including mine. What is the solution?  Well, you can move to somewhere quiet, figure out a way to unplug your life, or find a shepherd.  That’s right a shepherd.  When Jesus saw them as harassed and helpless he said the reason was “they were like sheep without a shepherd.” Someone to guide them, watch over them, protect them and provide for them.  Don’t you love it when the person making the observation, the one pointing out the problem also has the solution.  Even better is when the person IS the solution.
