Psalm 23:2a He makes me lie down in green pastures. In the Christian’s life there is no substitute for the keen awareness that my Shepherd is nearby. There is nothing like Christ’s presence to dispel the fear, the panic, the terror of the unknown. (A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23 by W. Phillip Keller, Pg. 44) I love what God’s Word says in Isaiah 26:3, “You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he…..
Psalm 23:1b I shall not want. Since the Lord is my Shepherd, then I shall not want. Actually the word “want” as used here has a broader meaning. The main concept is that of not lacking – not deficient – in proper care, management, or husbandry. But a second emphasis is the idea of being utterly contented in the Good Shepherd’s care and consequently not craving or desiring anything more. (A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23 by W. Phillip Keller,…..
Psalm 23:1a The Lord is my Shepherd. Sheep do not “just take care of themselves” as some might suppose. They require, more than any other class of livestock, endless attention and meticulous care. He (the Lord) literally lays Himself out for us continually. He is ever interceding for us; He is ever guiding us by His gracious Spirit; He is ever working on our behalf to ensure that we will benefit from His care. (A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23…..
Hi Beautiful Ladies, ❤️😍 I hope the start of this new year is treating you well. I’m late on getting this out to you and my sincerest apologies. But as promised, the Lord has led me to post a small devotion every month and our focus will be on Psalm 23 for this year (2023). Each month on the 23rd, beginning today, I will post a small devo on this Psalm. There are six verses which has two parts which…..
Isaiah 43:19 “Behold, I will do something new, now it will spring forth; will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, rivers in the desert. Isaiah 54:17a “No weapon that is formed against you will prosper. Ladies, 🥰 Maybe the Lord is doing a new work in your life. Personally, He is doing a restoring work in my life. He has brought me to a new church community where I’m currently attending…..
Luke 10:40 But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.” According to the standard dictionary, the term Distraction is defined as “An object that directs one’s attention away from something else.” All of us face distractions of some sort most of the time especially when we are doing the work of the Lord. Distractions can occur in…..
1 Corinthians 6:13b The body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. Sexual Immorality is considered the norm for today’s culture. Many people have sexual intercourse before marriage or they have participated in some form of sexual activity. From a biblical standpoint, God’s Word commands believers not to participate in nor have sexual relations before marriage. Sex is God’s gift to a husband and wife within the boundaries of a marital relationship……
Proverbs 4:25-27 Let your eyes look straight ahead, and your eyelids look right before you. Ponder the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established. Do not turn to the right or the left; remove your foot from evil. Recently, I spent the day with one of my sisters in Christ. We enjoyed a long conversation over coffee. It was a sweet time of fellowship and personal sharing. We talked about our lives and where we are…..
Hi Ladies, This weekend, I was given another opportunity to share with a group of women about waiting on the Lord. It was an intimate and a rich time of fellowship. It was a mixture of ladies with some single and some married. They had a chance to listen and interact with me about their personal experiences. One of the topics that kept coming up was God’s timing. God’s timing can not be measured by human logic. It can be…..
Colossians 2:6-7 As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving. Living in a big city, people tend to get their fair share of walking whether it’s walking to the train or bus station, walking to school or work, or walking to exercise, walking has become a daily routine in the lives of many. It…..
