(THE LORD IS MY SHEPARD I SHALL NOT WANT)
“The Lord is my shepherd: I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in 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 thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies: thou anoints my head with oil; my cup runneth 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
There is plenty of natural chaos going on in this world. There is evil at every turn and things happening that we cannot understand or explain with earthly words. There may be chaos but there is no mess. Our God in heaven is in total control. He is an orderly God and does nothing without great thought and patience. He created the world and all things in the world. He created the sun, the moon and the stars. All of these things are his possessions and will exist until his plan is complete. It may look as though our world is a mess, but we can be completely confident that it is not. With Jesus in our hearts and the Holy Spirit living within us we can calmly settle into this world with total confidence that God’s plan is unfolding just as He has planned. We do not know the time of the end, but we do know that He will comfort us through trials and temptations. Given the opportunity he restores us at every turn. He leads us to the right paths and nudges us along. In the midst of the chaos, he prepares us for the great homecoming we are going to soon experience. With the faith we have developed within our being, we can follow, learn and experience Jesus, knowing that His mercy and grace is with us constantly and that He will stand beside us always. He loves us and will not fail us. His plan is unfolding and our God in heaven is in total control! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
