Today we will discuss some important things about getting lost. Many times in our lives we encounter situations when we lose our way and feel uncertain. In such situations, despair begins to work in our lives. On the other hand, God wants to bring us out of that situation and bring us to the newness of life.
The Word of God gives us wisdom and encouragement when we are discouraged. One story in the Bible that encourages us is the story of the lost sheep. In this story, we see a shepherd leaving his ninety-nine sheep to look for the one sheep that was lost. From this we can learn how much God loves us. When we are lost, He always seeks us out so that we can return to Him.
Many times in our lives we make mistakes and stray from God. In such situations, we must always remember that only by going to God will we find peace and joy.
