Shepherd to Sheep

Exodus 39:14

"And the stones were corresponding to the names of the sons of Israel; they were twelve, corresponding to their names, engraved with the engravings of a signet, each with its name for the twelve tribes."

Like the shoulder pieces that were on the priest's ephod, which also was engraved with the names of the children of Israel, meant to portray a picture of the Lord carrying His beloved through difficult times, the Lord desired to keep his people close to His heart. Though at times we may feel insignificant and unimportant, but realize this child of God, that He really cares! The prophet Isaiah paints a beautiful portrait of a shepherd gathering the lambs in his arms and carrying them in his bosom, that they would know his arms of loving protection, the warmth of his breast and the rhythmic beating of his heart that brings comfort and calm in all the chaos of life in this world today.
