Religion & Spirituality
We are facing uncertain times right now, but our reliance upon GOD helps us to get through each day with the hope that the next one will be better. The 23rd psalm is a good passage of the Bible to commit to heart, not only during this time that we are dealing with the Coronavirus but throughout our entire life. We need to realize that GOD is there to take care of us, that HIS love for us endures forever, and that HE protects us from the evils of the world around us. God has provided us a Shepherd to look after us through his son Jesus Christ. Put your trust in him and follow him all the days of your life. David acknowledges and describes the position that GOD has in his life. Because he had grown up a shepherd himself, David knew the importance that person had who was given the responsibility of taking care of sheep. They knew their shepherd. The flock trusted in their shepherd wholeheartedly. They knew their shepherd would lead them to places where they could eat and find shelter. They would not follow just anyone out of the sheepfold. David was not following just anyone. He was following the ONE he trusted to take care of him. He did not need to question where his SHEPHERD was going to lead him. sometimes we need to take a rest but we are not willing to stop our busy schedules. There are times when we want to keep going to complete a task. However, sometimes God steps in and makes us take a break. Sometimes if the sheep keep going because they are driven by their own wants, they do not think of stopping until it is too late. They can wear themselves out very quickly and become more susceptible to the dangers that surround them. Sometimes, we have to take a moment to step back from our busy lives, sit down, and spend time reflecting on how GOD much loves us and cares for us. There are other times that GOD has to tap us on the shoulder and make us lie down in a green pasture. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/eddie-c-dollgener-jr/message
