Do You Know My Shepherd?

Ps. 23:1 Because the Lord is my Shepherd, I have all I need. Does He care about where we live, about what we have, and are we safe? Do we live in a safe neighborhood? A safe country? A safe world?

Yes, because He is so giving, so loving, so caring, and so kind. God wants to make sure our Church leadership is leading us properly. He also wants to make sure that we are being taught the right way with the right information, so that not only will we know Jesus but we will be empowered by the Word of God. God wants the best for us. He wants to put us in the perfect place. He wants us to know Him as He prefects us in our daily walk with Him. I thank you Lord, that you take the time to give us your full attention and to ensure that we have the very best.
Ps. 78:52 But he led forth his own people like a flock, guiding them safely through the wilderness. He kept them safe, so they were not afraid. But the Sea closed in upon their enemies and overwhelmed them. He brought them to the border of his land of blessing, to this land of hills he made for them. He drove out the nations occupying the land, and gave each tribe of Israel its apportioned place as its home. Ps 23:2-3 He lets me rest in the meadow grass and leads me beside the quiet streams. He gives me new strength. He helps me do what honors him the most. Lord that you protect me from the hands of wicked men. That I may discern truth and integrity which is in the hearts of men, as well as the evil and vile motives that is meant to bring harm and hurt to me. Thank you Lord that you are all wise and all knowing. That your eyes look deep into every corridor and every crevice of every heart of mankind. Can we hide from you? NEVER! Can we out think you? NEVER! Ps. 23:4 Even when walking through the dark valley of death I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me guarding, guiding all the way. Lord you help me find quiet places where I can rest in you. Peaceful places. Tranquil places. Places of safety. Places of contentment. Places where I feel I am totally loved, received, excepted, and favored by you. Thank you, that I can find safety, acceptance, and love with you. Because, attacks come from every direction. Sickness, disease, financial ruin, and broken relationships can try and over take us. Isn’t it wonderful that we KNOW THE SHEPHERD? His faithfulness we cannot compare to anything or anyone in this life. He has promised to deliver us out of it all. Ps. 27:1-2 The Lord is my light and my salvation; he protects me from danger—whom shall I fear? When evil men come to destroy me, they will stumble and fall! Yes though a mighty army marches against me, my heart shall know no fear! I am confident that God will save me. In the presence of The Lord is where we find safety, living with Him everyday of our lives. Knowing that if God be for us– who could be against us? Who could ever be against us. Is your confidence in The Lord? Ps. 23:5 You provide delicious food for me in the presence of my enemies. You have welcomed me as your guest; blessings overflow! Ps.16:5 The Lord himself is my inheritance, my prize. He is my food and drink, my highest joy! He guards all that is mine. Lord to know that I dwell under the shadow of The Almighty. To know that you are in me and I am in You. To know, the line is never busy. You never say just leave a message or leave me an e-mail and I’ll get back with you later. You are faithful even when we fail you. It is You, that remains faithful. Ps. 23:6 Your goodness and unfailing kindness shall be with me all of my life, and afterwards I will live with you forever in your home. After experiencing you here on earth and understanding your all consuming love, I find myself homesick for the fullness of your glory. My mind can hardly comprehend what is waiting for me in heaven! I want to be at home with you forever Lord, I need you every hour of everyday. There are times I don’t really realize how much I need you, but I do need you.
