Psalm 23:1 The Lord is my Shepherd

Good morning, this is Michael De Rosa from the mountainside community Church. Let’s look at Psalm 23:1 today

The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want.

 

Consider how these words can deeply color those times when you are impatience or frustration, or worried.

Consider, all other needs and wants we have at the moment suddenly lessen their grip upon us.

While the concerns that we have do need to be tended to in a timely manner, there becomes an undercurrent of realization that the Lord as our Shepherd will guide us through them, and that our immediate and important concern is to follow Him wherever…and regardless of life’s twists and turns.

This, though, is impossible to do unless we are submitted to His Lordship. When we pray for His leading, while hanging onto our concerns we reveal to ourselves that we have not yet completely abandoned ourselves to His Sheperding.

Letting go is not only possible, but the natural thing to do as we graciously accept His Lordship over our lives.

One too many people today claim Jesus as their Savior, but discount His Lordship, and run into difficulties that God never planned for them.

 

 

Blessings on your journey,

-Michael
