Mark 6:34 (NAS)
And when He went ashore, He saw a great multitude, and He felt compassion for them because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and He began to teach them many things.

Mark 6:34 (Philips)
When Jesus disembarked he saw the large crowd and his heart was touched with pity for them because they seemed to him like sheep without a shepherd. And he settled down to teach them about many things.

Mark 6:34 (NLT)
A vast crowd was there as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he taught them many things.

Sometimes circumstances can cause you to believe that you are forgotten and that you are just wandering around trying to survive. You may believe that Adonai does not care about you because you do not see what you want to see. However, do not let yourself continue to meditate on these thoughts.

From the word of God, you know that Yeshua was often moved with compassion. He would look at the crowds of people and feel tender mercy and kindness for them. He could see their miseries and afflictions and have an intense desire to help them. He knew He was the only One who could save them.

He feels the same good will towards you and wants to show you the same mercy and compassion that He did for those He walked among. He has turned His eyes upon you and observes every detail of your life. Because He cherishes you, He always pays attention to you.

He is your Shepherd, who holds all the control and care over your life. He watches over you and defends you against any one who attacks you. He heals your wounds and sicknesses. If you are lost or trapped, He is the One who finds and saves you. You can trust Him completely because He loves you and has shared His life with you.

Now He teaches and instructs you in His word. He instills His doctrine into your soul, so that you no longer have to wander aimlessly. Therefore, let your mind remain at rest. The Lord is taking care of you.
