Exodus 5:22-7:24; Matthew 18:23-19:12; Psalm 23:1-6; Proverbs 5:22-23
Psalm 23. How it has changed my life. I have found this inspirational message that allows us to look at the psalm in a new way. I hope you enjoy.
PSALM 23 with thoughts, by Author Unknown
The Lord is my Shepherd - That's Relationship!
I shall not want - That's Supply!
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures - That's Rest!
He leadeth me beside the still waters - That's Refreshment!
He restoreth my soul - That' s Healing!
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness - That's Guidance!
For His name sake - That's Purpose!
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death - That's Testing!
I will fear no evil - That' s Protection!
For Thou art with me - That's Faithfulness!
Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me - That's Discipline!
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies - That's Hope!
Thou annointest my head with oil - That's Consecration!
My cup runneth over - That's Abundance!
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life - That's Blessing!
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord - That's Security!
Forever - That's Eternity!
What is most valuable is not what we have in our lives, but WHO we have in our lives!
God is the shepherd who offers help, protection, and care. But sometimes that help, protection, and care come through others. We must prepare our eyes, ears and heart to be aware of God's presence in every situation we encounter. God is here with us now. Because of that, we are called to shepherd other people, to make God's presence real in the lives of others, to love them as shepherds love the sheep.
Let's Pray
Lord, guide me to discover your presence in the fullness of life and to communicate it to others. Amen
Blessings,
Pastor David
