Just love how this part of today's lectionary reading from Isaiah shows the strength and the compassion and gentleness of our God all rolled up in one:
10 Yes, the Sovereign LORD is coming in power.
He will rule with a powerful arm.
See, he brings his reward with him as he comes.
11 He will feed his flock like a shepherd.
He will carry the lambs in his arms,
holding them close to his heart.
He will gently lead the mother sheep with their young.
