At Rest

24 03 2016

He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. Psalm 23:3

I can rest in the Lord. As I move through the day, my heart and mind acknowledges the blessing of being in relationship with the Savior.  Whatever the day brings, I am not alone.  The Lord is with me and His love for me makes everything well.  Challenges are present, the world’s discord can surround me but within my being I can experience His peace, His love and even His joy.  I can leave worry and anxiety behind.  It is a blessing to experience His rest.  Tucked inside His grace, I experience His refuge and protection and I am thankful.  I can rest in the Lord.

The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name. Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.

Psalm 23

DSC_0630The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need.

He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams.

He renews my strength.

He guides me along right paths,bringing honor to his name.

Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me.

Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.

You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies.

You honor me by anointing my head with oil.     

My cup overflows with blessings.

Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life,

and I will live in the house of the Lord  forever.

All That I Need

14 07 2014

Crew (48 of 86)The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. Psalms 23:1

 

This verse is familiar with a powerful message for His children.  It is worthy of our meditation and our full comprehension of His role as the Good Shepherd.  He provides for all of our spiritual and natural needs. Food, shelter, safety, peace, deliverance, comfort, healing and joy are all available from the Savior.  He is my Shepherd; I have all that I need. My provisions are met.  What is required for me to achieve my purpose is available to me.  This is a state of abundance and a promise that we should hide in our heart and inhabit our thinking.   Where I am right now with what I have right now is enough.  The Shepherd, our Savior, is leading. His grace for me is sufficient.  He is preparing me at each juncture for the next step ahead.  The Shepherd provides for all of my needs.  I lack nothing, as I follow Him.   And I am thankful.

 

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Psalms 23

The Shepherd

6 02 2014

winter clear roadThe Lord is my shepherd;

I have all that I need.
He lets me rest in green meadows;

He leads me beside peaceful streams.
He renews my strength.
He guides me along right paths,
bringing honor to his name.

 Even when I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will not be afraid,
for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff
protect and comfort me. Psalm 23:1-4

We serve a capable Shepherd who knows His sheep.   He knows who we are, where we are and where we need to go.  He knows all about our beginnings and every challenge we have faced along the way.  He even knows the desires of our heart.  We don’t have to worry that He does not see us.  He is omnipresent in our world and even in the personal struggle in our hearts.  He sees it all.  Nothing comes as a surprise but some of our choices may grieve His heart.  He has asked us to trust Him.  Not a little bit, not when it is convenient but with our whole heart.  He has asked us to trust Him and to trust His Word.  He has asked us to be assured and to walk in faith that what His Word is a message of love.  A love that is powerful to cover whatever we are facing.  We can trust Him.  We can follow Him in faith and in love into our purpose.
