Shepherd's Care.


Sub-Topic: Finding Security in God's Presence.

Biblical Text: Psalm 23:1.

Commentary:

Psalm 23 begins with a strong image: the Lord is our shepherd. Shepherds care for their sheep, keeping them safe and leading them to nutritious pastures. The passage informs us that "the Lord is my shepherd," meaning total safety and provision in His presence.

Loss may make us feel vulnerable and insecure. The comfortable world we previously knew may seem destroyed. However, this passage reminds us that even in the face of loss, God is a continual source of assurance and care.

While grieving is a normal and essential process, we do not have to go through it alone. Even amid the deepest valleys, God's presence continues to provide us with strength and hope.

Prayer: Lord, be my shepherd at this time of grief. Guide and soothe me with Your presence.

Work Action: Locate a quiet space to reflect. Write a scripture that reminds you of God's care, such as Isaiah 41:10, and memorize it this week.

Scriptural Reference: Isaiah 41:10 "So do not be afraid, for I am with you; do not be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen and aid you; I will support you with my righteous right hand."

THE GOD OF COVENANT

  Bible Reading : Exodus 2:23-25 Text : "He remembers his covenant forever, the word He commended, for a thousand generation" (Ps. 105:8). NIV COMMENTARY : The Israelites spent 430 years in Egypt. The earlier part of this period was spent in joy; when the Pharaohs that knew Joseph were on the throne. But the later part was in agony; when the Pharaoh that knew not Joseph reigned, their suffering was so unbearable that they cried unto God, and the Bible says; "God heard their groaning and remembered and remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Exo. 2:24, 25). God heard their groaning but what moved him was the covenant. Listen! Your name, tears, knowledge, experience or wealth may not move God but covenant does. You can maintain your covenant with God by walking blamelessly and constantly putting Him in remembrance of the covenant which is the scripture.. As you are about to sleep tonight, I prophesy to you that this year's covenant is moving God for your...

EQUIPPED FOR SPIRITUAL ARMOR

Bible Reading : Ephesians 6:10-13 Text : Eph. 6:12 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places". (NKJV) COMMENTARY Every Christian is in a combat field. The conflict is spiritual. When you succeed spiritually, the physical is a work over. The spiritual governs the physical. We are grateful that God provided for our combat weapons rather than abandoning us helplessly. Read More...

GIVE GENEROUSLY

Image
Bible Reading : 11 Corinthians 9:6-12 Text : 2 Corinthians 9:6 "But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully".(NKJV) COMMENTARY Simply put, sparingly implies giving very little compared to what you already have. Giving must be done sacrificially to produce results. That is a generous donation. Giving that doesn't affect you isn't a plentiful seed; a bountiful seed hurts the giver but moves God. When you give to God's work or someone who is unable to repay you, miracles happen.. Read More
