Every day is a gift!

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. – Psalm 23
Dear Jesus, when we keep in mind that You are the Good Shepherd, we are in awe. With every single detail of our lives, You are there, caring for us. You make sure we are protected and provided for. You don’t sleep, because You are constantly keeping watch of Your sheep. We can never thank You enough for all You have done and continue to do for us. We love You, we are grateful for You, and we put our trust in You. In Your powerful name we pray, Amen.
I’m thankful for Jesus, the Good Shepherd. I’m thankful for the quiet hours when I spend time with the Lord. And I’m thankful for Christian books and blogs that help me learn and grow.

I praise God that he actually desires to be in a personal relationship with each of us, that he offers benefit upon benefit when we draw near to him. He is indeed our GOOD Shepherd!

So very true, Nancy! And during the worship part of our church service on Sunday, I was thinking how amazing that God hears every single persons’ thoughts, prayers, and praises – all at the same time. People all across the globe, He is tuned into every one. He doesn’t miss anything in our lives. What a loving God we have! 🙌♥️🙏
