We are living in an uncertain time. People don’t know what to do. This doesn’t just have to do with the stock market, but about homes, jobs….it’s affecting everyone. In this time, God through David is calling us.
Psalm 23:1 Jesus is the Good Shepard, we have a refuge. Satan may offer much to us, but he can’t offer freedom. We can’t forget that we are free from the power of sin. Jesus came that we may have joy. In the end, the economy is staying behind.
Psalm 23:2 When was the last time you stopped to rest? To think about how it’s going? What is this life in view of eternity? We need to take inventory and ask ourselves what this life means. The Lord wants to bring us to peace. No one can take it. Are we waiting to get sick, to have time to pray and read the Bible? We can be so busy spiritually, that we don’t have time to be quiet with God. When was the last time you’ve had quiet time to fill up spiritually?
Psalm 23:3 When He leads, we are safe. Our Sheperd goes on before us. He has been reliable. He care for us, He is faithful. He promised to be with us until the world end.
Psalm 23:5 He is worrying for us. We have a stronghold in the LORD. We don’ need to doubt Him. He is always enough. The Father in Heaven cares for the sparrows, how much will He provide for us? We need to learn to trust. We need to turn our eyes upon Him.
Do we really know the Shepard? Do we know Him personally?
Do you know the Psalm or the Shepard?
We have a leader who promised to be with us until we die. We can put our trust in Him.
