Every once in a while, a ewe will give birth to a lamb and reject it. There are many reasons she may do this. If the lamb is returned to the ewe, the mother may even kick the poor animal away. Once a ewe rejects one of her lambs, she will never change her mind.
These little lambs will hang their heads so low that it looks like something is wrong with its neck. Their spirit is broken.
These lambs are called “bummer lambs.” Unless the Shepherd intervenes, that lamb will die, rejected and alone. So, do you know what the Shepherd does?
He takes that rejected little one into His home, hand-feeds it and keeps it warm by the fire. He will wrap it up with blankets and hold it to His chest so the bummer can hear His heartbeat. Once the lamb is strong enough, the Shepherd will place it back in the field with the rest of the flock.
But that sheep never forgets how the Shepherd cared for him when his mother rejected him. When the Shepherd calls for the flock, guess who runs to Him first?
That is right, the bummer sheep. He knows His voice intimately.
It is not that the bummer lamb is loved more, it just knows intimately the One who loves it and has experienced that loved one on one.
So many of us are bummer lambs, rejected, and broken. But He is the good Shepherd. He cares for our every need and holds us close to His heart so we can hear His heartbeat.
I am a bummer lamb adopted and loved by The Good Shepherd!

There is a recurring theme in Scripture of first born sons being replaced by their younger brothers because they did not honor their parents. You can protect your legacy by ensuring the legacy of your parents.

Blessed are You Yahuah Eloheinu, for You are a very present help in trouble. You are always ready to hear our cry and come to our aid. Adonai, help us not to be afraid but to put our trust and hope in You. May we ever rejoice in Your love and care. Blessed are You Adonai our King Most High! Elohim, You have created us out of love and for Your love. We pray for Your forgiveness of our sins and for Your protection in the troubles and storms of life. Bless all believers who are struggling against great odds. We pray for those who are suffering from persecution, violence and ridicule. We pray for those whose lives are at risk and those who are exhausted. We give thanks for the works of emergency workers, safety and security officers, lifesavers and all whose work is upon the sea. We ask Your blessing upon fishermen and merchant seamen. We pray for all those who are caught up in war, in storms, in earthquakes, floods, droughts and in violent crime. We give thanks for the safety and protection of our own homes. We pray for all who are struggling with problems of debt and all whose relationships are breaking down. We pray for the work of all carers, for those who are hungry and those who are homeless. Adonai, we pray for the world-weary, the worried and worn, all who feel overwhelmed and for all who are unable to cope. We especially ask Your blessing on everyone with a disability, for those who are ill, for those injured in accidents and for all the people who lost a loved-one during this day. Adonai, we ask that You stand with us when the last great storm seeks to overwhelm us and we feel we are sinking beneath the waves. Help us to know that in You, we will not perish but have everlasting life. We commit to Your Commandments and Your will and may we rejoice in Your presence and in Your peace. We ask that You accept this prayer in the Name of our Saviour Yeshua Moshiach, amein.
