No one can reel me in like Jesus.
He is the answer.

As I pondered this simple yet profound Truth, one of the Scriptures that came to mind was Isaiah 53:6 – “We all like sheep have gone astray”, and within the meaning of the word “astray” was the word “reel”, also written in my beginning and defining thought.

Thoughts… they can lead us ever so slightly away from the nearness of Truth, and even innocently we can begin to wander lest we take them captive. We find ourselves questioning, tottering, and even shaken when we gaze upon distractions. With great intention we must remain not only near the Shepherds Voice, though in closeness to Him, and best yet in Him. Like a sound wave the closer the vibration is felt, we hear and discern Him, but this is not the hour of the bell… it’s the hour of the whisper. And more honorable still is the person who remains in Him in Oneness.

Apart from Him, I am nothing.

The Answer // All Things
answer (n.)
Middle English answere, from Old English andswaru “a response, a reply to a question,” from and- “against” (from PIE root *ant- “front, forehead,” with derivatives meaning “in front of, before”) + -swaru “affirmation,” from swerian “to swear” (see swear). The proposed etymology suggests an original sense of “sworn statement rebutting a charge.” The meaning “solution of a problem” is from c. 1300.

Is it not true? We all like sheep have gone astray.

”All of us like sheep have gone astray, We have turned, each one, to his own way; But the Lord has caused the wickedness of us all [our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing] To fall on Him [instead of us].“ ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭6‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Thank you Lord for Your mercy and lovingkindess! The pursuing Savior, the risen Lamb, is He not worthy of all?

If we are being shaken, He is not before us. In stillness and quietness our soul will find Him.

”Set your gaze on the path before you. With fixed purpose, looking straight ahead, ignore life’s distractions. Watch where you’re going! Stick to the path of truth, and the road will be safe and smooth before you. Don’t allow yourself to be sidetracked for even a moment or take the detour that leads to darkness.“ Proverbs‬ ‭4‬:‭25‬-‭27‬ ‭TPT‬‬

”Yahweh is my best friend and my shepherd. I always have more than enough. He offers a resting place for me in his luxurious love. His tracks take me to an oasis of peace near the quiet brook of bliss. That’s where he restores and revives my life. He opens before me the right path and leads me along in his footsteps of righteousness so that I can bring honor to his name.“
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Thank You Jesus, You have never compromised Your Word; You are faithful, You are worthy, You are holy. You ARE The Way, The Truth, and The Life!
