Sometimes, the most familiar passages can filter into our souls and give us new insights. This morning, the Lord sent me to Psalm 23 – the Shepherd’s Psalm. I memorized it years ago, but this time – read it in my Amplified Bible and didn’t make it past the first verse.
“The Lord is my Shepherd – to feed, guide and shield me – I shall not lack.”
When I look back on this time of unemployment, it is true that the Divine Shepherd has been with us – to feed us, guide us and shield us. We have purposely gone without movies, new clothes and any other luxury items. But we still have a roof over our heads, food in the fridge and hope for the job that God will provide. As we have prayed about the needs and waited for God’s provisions, he has given us everything we have needed.
Check out my son’s blog: carnival4caleb.blogspot.com to see how God provided for Caleb’s medical account. And keep coming back to this post – to see how God provides the job I need, in his timing and in his incredible way.
He truly is the Shepherd who cares about every need – for each one of his precious sheep.
