Scripture

“I have strayed like a lost sheep. Seek your servant.. .” (Psalm 119:176)

Thought

Have you ever been lost? It’s an awful feeling, in that moment of realization we experience this surge of mixed emotions like fear, anxiety, and panic. But prior to that moment being lost is imperceptible.

A sheep doesn’t make a conscious decision to go astray, it becomes distracted and unknowingly drifts away from the herd until it becomes completely separated.

Humans aren’t much different. We live in a noisy, distracting, fast-paced world that is very conducive to aimlessness.

Even the best intended leaders can allow the good things in their lives become the focus of their lives only to eventually find themselves to be totally separated from the main thing.

We have to be mindful of this tendency and intentionally fight back against drift, in all its forms.

Look around… Are you lost?
