Feeling overwhelmed by the chaos of modern life? Discover how the timeless compassion of Jesus can bring clarity and purpose to our busy days. Join me, Rick, on Wisdom for the Day as we reflect on Matthew 9:36, where Jesus sees the crowd as harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. From the demands of work to the constant distractions that pull us in countless directions, we're all too familiar with this struggle—but you're not alone. Together, we'll explore how Jesus offers comfort and guidance, reminding us of God's restorative purpose for our lives and calling us to share this transformative message with others.

Each day is a new opportunity to refocus and connect with God's love, and I'm here to guide you through it with faith and wisdom. We'll pray for those who will carry forth the message of salvation and embrace the adventure of living a life filled with purpose. Tune in to refresh your spirit and prepare for tomorrow with a renewed mindset. Thank you for being an essential part of our community, and I'm excited to continue this journey with you.

00:00:02.564 --> 00:00:07.413
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:08.333 --> 00:00:08.734
I'm Rick.

00:00:08.734 --> 00:00:13.651
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:13.651 --> 00:00:19.466
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom, ready to feel inspired.

00:00:19.466 --> 00:00:21.065
Let's get started.

00:00:21.065 --> 00:00:27.350
Today is Day nine, exhausted.

00:00:27.350 --> 00:00:34.814
We'll be reading from the book of Matthew, chapter nine, verse 36, from the New Living Translation.

00:00:37.021 --> 00:00:44.067
When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

00:00:44.067 --> 00:00:47.326
Are you too busy?

00:00:47.326 --> 00:00:50.427
Most people would probably say yes.

00:00:50.427 --> 00:01:00.652
Our lives are packed with things to do, places to go, people to meet, and it's easy to feel overwhelmed by all the distractions and demands.

00:01:00.652 --> 00:01:19.361
Originally, we were created with a clear purpose to care for the world and for each other, but when sin entered it distorted that sense of purpose.

00:01:19.361 --> 00:01:21.924
Life moves quickly and a lot of times we find ourselves just trying to keep up.

00:01:21.924 --> 00:01:35.731
Whether it's the demands of work, or kids and their extracurricular activities or other commitments, distractions are just endless and they pull our focus in so many different directions.

00:01:35.731 --> 00:01:39.248
This struggle isn't unique in our time.

00:01:39.248 --> 00:01:45.492
When Jesus walked the earth, he saw people weighed down by the stresses of life.

00:01:45.492 --> 00:01:52.411
They needed comfort, help and rest, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd.

00:01:52.411 --> 00:01:59.173
He tends to us, providing and guiding, healing and sharing his love.

00:01:59.173 --> 00:02:04.731
He also reminds us of God's work to restore purpose to our weary lives.

00:02:04.731 --> 00:02:06.263
He also reminds us of God's work to restore purpose to our weary lives.

00:02:06.263 --> 00:02:11.492
Jesus calls us to pray for workers who will share the good news of salvation and a new life.

00:02:11.492 --> 00:02:20.627
Are you refocusing and joining in this meaningful adventure, compassionate Father?

00:02:20.627 --> 00:02:23.151
God, we are often worn and weary.

00:02:23.151 --> 00:02:28.901
We need your help and hope.

00:02:28.901 --> 00:02:33.573
Restore us through the good news of Jesus and guide us and others to share his message, amen.
