So having penned all he penned; the surety of the resurrection of Jesus, the surety that we too will be raised, that death and sin will be swallowed up in victory, let us do this:

58 So, my dear brothers, stand firm and immovable, always doing the Lord’s work as vigorously as you can, knowing that united with the Lord your efforts are not in vain.

via 1 Corinthians 15 KJV;CJB – Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you – Bible Gateway.

Our efforts are not in vain. Your efforts are not in vain. Press on my Friend.

Thank You, ABBA, our efforts are not in vain. Vigorously as I can. Fine tune that within me I pray. And not just me but every soul who reads and agrees.

And on this 49th day of 2014, let us vigorously pursue loving Him and one another,

Kathie

36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were harried and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

via Matthew 9 KJV;CJB – And he entered into a ship, and passed – Bible Gateway.

The verse speaks of Yeshua. 

Crowds.
Many people.
And there still are.

He had compassion on them. On us. Why?

Because they were harried and helpless. So are we.

Harried.  troubled persistently especially with petty annoyances via harried – definition of harried by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

Does that sound about right? persistently surrounded by petty annoyances.

And Helpless.

 Unable to help oneself; powerless or incompetent. via helpless – definition of helpless by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

Yep! That’s us. Powerless and incompetent to save ourselves!

So Jesus had compassion on us! And because of Him we are no longer helpless. He is our help. And we are no longer harried – well, we are still working on that one :) with The Shepherd’s Tending!

Grateful on this 27th day of 2014 for The Shepherd’s Tending – no longer helpless and learning to be less harried!!
