Jesus came to this earth to save the lost, and usually we’re
talking about people. Me, you, and everyone. But just as the
parable in Luke 15 mentions a lost coin, this past Sunday my lost item was my
Nehemiah book. I asked the Lord to reveal it in order for me to teach
from it. Days passed, I didn’t know where it was, and I began to wonder
if indeed the Lord was leading me to teach about Nehemiah, then perhaps I
didn’t need this same book because He would supply me new perspective.
The next day I remembered this particular Nehemiah study was part of a
3-section book. The following day I remembered it was one of the smaller-sized
Precept books. This past Sunday I thought to look again on the bedroom
shelves. We drove home from church, and there it was. Bit by bit,
the Lord had revealed my book. To paraphrase Luke 15:9, I say now,
“Rejoice with me; I found my lost book!” And may the Lord bless you today
in whatever way you’re feeling something’s lost. The title of my Nehemiah
book is Overcoming Fear and Discouragement.
Certainly the Lord offers encouragement for us all.
