“Dedicated to looking after you,” and “Caring for our community,” I am reading on the small paper bag, in which we received our purchases from the pharmacy today.

Reading that made me look up “looking after” and “caring for” in the Bible.

In Ezekiel 34:11 the Sovereign LORD says, “I myself will search for my sheep and look after them.”

And in Ezekiel 34:12 we read, “As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep.”

The Lord Jesus Christ is our shepherd.

“Cast all your anxieties on him because he cares for you,” it says in First Peter 5:7.

Who is looking after you and caring for you?

I am glad that not only the pharmacy is looking after me and caring for me, but that the Sovereign LORD is looking after me and caring for me as well.
