Everything we need

As I was preparing for the message that I was to deliver yesterday, I came across this wonderful reminder that God is everything we need!






The Lord is my Shepherd
THAT'S RELATIONSHIP!

I shall not want
THAT'S SUPPLY!

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures
THAT'S REST!

He leadeth me beside still waters
THAT'S REFRESHMENT!

He restoreth my soul
THAT'S HEALING!

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
THAT'S GUIDANCE!

For His name sake
THAT'S PURPOSE!

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
THAT'S TESTING!

I will fear no evil
THAT'S PROTECTION!

For Thou art with me
THAT'S FAITHFULNESS!

Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me
THAT'S DISCIPLINE!

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies
THAT'S HOPE!

Thou anointest my head with oil
THAT'S CONSECRATION!

My cup runneth over
THAT'S ABUNDANCE!

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life
THAT'S BLESSING!

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
THAT'S SECURITY!

Forever
THAT'S ETERNITY !

Go and have an awesome day

A Song of the Great Shepard

A famous actor was once the guest of honor at a social gathering where he received many requests to recite favorite excerpts from various literary works. An old preacher who happened to be there asked the actor to recite the twenty-third Psalm. The actor agreed on the condition that the preacher would also recite it. The actor’s recitation was beautifully intoned with great dramatic emphasis for which he received lengthy applause. The preacher’s voice was rough and broken from many years of preaching, and his diction was anything but polished. But when he finished there was not a dry eye in the room. When someone asked the actor what made the difference, he replied "I know the psalm, but he knows the Shepherd."

A Psalm of David

God, my shepherd! I don't need a thing.
You have bedded me down in lush meadows,
you find me quiet pools to drink from.
True to your word,
you let me catch my breath
and send me in the right direction.

Even when the way goes through
Death Valley,
I'm not afraid
when you walk at my side.
Your trusty shepherd's crook
makes me feel secure.

You serve me a six-course dinner
right in front of my enemies.
You revive my drooping head;
my cup brims with blessing.

Your beauty and love chase after me
every day of my life.
I'm back home in the house of God
for the rest of my life.
