The Lord is my Shepherd!


 When Jesus came to earth, He used the analogy of a Shepherd who knew his sheep by name.  And I know that GOD knows each one of us by name.  More than that, our FATHER knows us now, He knows us in the future and He knew us before we were born.

We are HIS creation.  And we are made in HIS image.  And that is why this Psalm resonates with me.  

GOD restores our souls.  When the world lets us down or seems to be to much to bear, we can turn to GOD and Jesus and ask them to fill us with their Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit gives us the strength to carry on.

And when the Psalmist wrote that indeed, should we walk through the valley of death, the rod and the staff of our Shepherd, Jesus Christ, will comfort us.  For if we are lost, we can be found by Jesus.  If we are hungry, we can be fed by Jesus, if we are thirsty, our thirst can be quenched by Jesus.  

And the Psalmist ends off with the words, that surely goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives if we dwell in the House of the Lord for ever.

Prayer:  Dearest FATHER, I thank YOU that YOU sent my Shepherd Jesus Christ to this earth to save me from my sins.  I thank YOU FATHER that I can always find comfort from my Lord and my Saviour, Jesus Christ.  I thank YOU that YOU fill me with the Holy Spirit when I am empty.  I thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay graciously GOD blessed today!
