"HE Tends HIS Flock Like A Shepherd."

HE will not forget the lambs!
(John Angell James, "The Christian Professor")

"HE tends HIS flock like a shepherd.
HE will carry the lambs in HIS arms,
holding them close to HIS heart.
HE will gently lead the mother sheep
with their young."      Isaiah 40:11

Are you alarmed at the difficulties 
and dangers of the wilderness way?
Consider that you enjoy the notice,
the love, intercession, and the support
of the Great and Good SHEPHERD,
who carries the lambs in HIS arms,
holding them close to HIS heart.

HE will not forget the lambs--
their feeble bleat attracts HIS notice, 
their helplessness draws HIS attention; 
and for them HE puts forth all His
pastoral kindness and skill.
