Isaiah 40:9-11

Go up on a high mountain, O herald Zion! Shout out loudly, O herald Jerusalem! Shout, don’t be afraid! Say to the towns of Judah,“Here is your God!” Look, the sovereign Lord comes as a victorious warrior; his military power establishes his rule. Look, his reward is with him; his prize goes before him. Like a shepherd he tends his flock; he gathers up the lambs with his arm; he carries them close to his heart; he leads the ewes along.

Lord Jesus, thank You that You are over all. Please reign in our hearts and lead us in remembering and living like You are more than enough. As trials and temptations come our way, bring to our minds that You are our faithful shepherd, the powerful lover of our souls, and the One who carries us close to Your heart. Amen.
