Parable Of The Lost Sheep
Some Pharisees and experts in the law complained to Jesus for welcoming and eating with sinners and tax collectors.
Jesus replied, “Which one of you if he has a hundred sheep and loses one of them, would not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture and go look for the one that is lost until he finds it?” (Luke 15:3)
May we never cease to search for the lost or help the found. After all, we were all lost at some point in our own life but helped by others along the way. Return the help received with gratitude and thanks.
Lord Jesus, today we pray for those who have heard your message but have gone astray and those who have yet to listen. May they quickly realize that only You have the words of eternal life.

The Song That Brought Peace To A Troubled Heart
I want to share a moment in my life when I witnessed the power of the Holy Spirit minister to a heart through a song. I was sitting in my study on a Friday night about 2 years ago just praying, and I started to play this song. “Sometimes it Takes a Mountain” sung by Adam Crabb. As I let the words touch my heart, I was unaware that my daughter had brought a friend home with her. I just found myself rejoicing in the presence of the Lord.
As I sat there listening to the words of this song, I heard sobbing from the other side of my study door. The young lady was pouring out her heart to God asking His forgiveness. It was such a choking sob it caught my attention and I opened the door and started to pray for her.
As the song was still playing, I watched a transformation take place in this young lady. Suddenly, through the tears, a smile began to form on her face. She told me later it was if the weight of the world had been lifted from her shoulders. She said, “I feel the presence of the Lord in my life once again. I’m so glad I came home with your daughter tonight.”
Jesus took a song and brought peace to a troubled heart. I know there are a lot of troubled hearts out there. You’re wondering when this Virus will break. You’re wondering when things will get back to normal. Jesus is reaching out to you saying, “This is the mountain, the stormy sea, the desert. I am reaching out to you in this time of trouble. Turn to me. Let me be your Rock, let me calm the storm in your life.”
I share the song that changed a heart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-24kkrKp1Y
