The Lord Is My Shepherd Day 1

This quotation is so famous

This quotation is so famous. It is used at Weddings, funerals, in most 'religious' circumstances. It comes from Psalm 23 and the first verse. The Psalmist sets the scene right away by saying what he says. Is he saying, 'I'm a sheep?' No he most certainly is not, he is simply telling you the reader that his Lord is his boss, his father, his daddy, the one he follows....

I have been in situations in my life when if I hadn't known that the Lord was my shepherd, I don't think I would have survived. My life is an open book and thanks to the Lord I have survived and survived very well. He is my Father. In verse 4 of Isaiah 43 it is written 'You are precious to Me. You are honoured, and I love you'. Let's just take a look at these word, 'precious', and 'honoured'. Firstly, let's take a look at the word precious. When we consider this word we think of jewels, diamonds, amethysts, rubies and so on. To a woman these gems are priceless especially if they are given in love. That is how the living God sees you. He sees you as being priceless. That is why He made you. Let's continue in this vain by thinking about the word 'honour'. I love to look at it like this. The queen of the United Kingdom, Queen Elizabeth 11 is honoured everywhere she goes. the red carpet is deployed on a stately visit. People will bow and curtsy when she approaches. Did you know that it is against the constitutional law in the UK for anyone to turn their backs on the Queen? Think in terms of this and know that your Father in Heaven honours you far more than we honour the Queen. Don't you find that to be awesome? How cool is that to know that the living Lord loves me that much. Well He loves you equally as much. All you need to do is to receive His love. Allow Him to be your shepherd. Let Him lead you by 'still waters and pastures green' and you will see a new life blossom before you.

A prayer: Father, thank You for loving me the way You do. I ask you today to be my 'shepherd' and to lead me where ever You will. In Jesus' name I pray.
