The words found in Psalms 23:1 which read "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want", has given comfort to so many of us believers throughout the years that we owe a debt of gratitude to King David for allowing the Spirit of God to stir him in such a way that he concluded and documented for us to know through the ages that -the LORD is our shepherd. Hallelujah!!! Thank you Jesus!
When I think about the goodness of God (which often comes when He gives me a mental reprieve), I can't help but to feel safe in His arms. I feel, if not but for just a moment in time, that I am truly loved in ways that I cannot understand but feel deep in my heart. I begin to see the "bigness of life" and get overwhelmed with thoughts of gratitude that God has allowed me to play a small role in His plan and am eternally grateful to experience the love of my wife and children.
This song has kept me and keeps me regardless of whether I feel down or am feeling good; this song reminds me of the goodness of God and how much I mean to Him. I hope you feel the same after listening.
Another song that very dear to me and nearly makes me cry each time I listen to it is "What Shall I Do" by Rev. James Cleveland. This song again reminds us that we can count on God to make a way somehow. It reminds us that things do not always go our way; it reminds us that life gets hard at times but that our God is able.
Jesus told us to be of good cheer; He said that He would never leave us or forsake us. My friend in the Lord, King David, witnessed and wrote in Psalms 37:25 that reads:
"I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread." Again, Hallelujah! Thank you Jesus!There is hope, but it is in our Lord and Savior and not in the things of this world.
God, help us to trust in you and believe that you are who you say are and can do what you say you can do. Hallelujah!"And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever." I John 2:17
