Because the Lord Is My Shepherd



"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 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 thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest 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 for ever."  KJV

Dear Friends,
I had a dream last night that I talked to youngest brother and told him I was sad.  In the dream he called me and said: "I emailed you the 23 Psalms, did you get it."  During my meditation this morning I read and pondered the Word of the Lord in this beautiful and familiar Psalm. It was as if I could hear the Holy Spirit whispering, "I sent this to you, do you get it?"  Well, I thought I had it.  It is not just having it memorized. I thought I had internalized it.  But God, had a question that could not be ignored.  He prodded me through His Spirit...
Understand that you don't have to worry or be concerned about anything, I am God and I am guiding the events of your life.  Because I am your Shepherd...
Understand that when the assignments are too intense and the burdens too great I am Your Coach and I call for time outs.  Its My Voice you hear - "my yoke is easy" Because I am your Shepherd...
Understand that when I send you out to represent me I supply you with renewed strength, hope and determination.  Restoration.  Because I am your Shepherd...
Know that there is no trial, no distance, no circumstance that can hinder My will "neither life nor death nor principalities"     Because I am your Shepherd...
Know that the hairs on your head are numbered and "no weapon formed against you shall prosper"    Because I am your Shepherd...
I am your protection...I am your sustenance...I've got your back "goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life..."  Because I am your Shepherd
Finally, when life here is over "I go to prepare a place for you that where I am you will be also"
 "I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine."
 - St. John 10:14
"Because the Lord is my Shepherd, I have everything I need!"
  - Psalms 23:1 TLB
in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
