Daily Devotion: Psalm 23:1

By

Psalm 23:1     "The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want."

On Tuesday, we went through a beautiful place called, Antelope Canyon. The beauty of it cannot be expressed in words. But this morning, I want to talk about our guide. He was patient with us. He was very knowledgeable about the area. He pointed out things of interest and spoke of them with great passion. We could tell that he loves that place and receives joy by taking others through it. He warned us of places to watch for and knew the right times to stop and let us rest. He showed us the best places to take pictures in order to help preserve memories. It was an incredible experience as he shepherded us through that narrow canyon.

I am thinking this morning of the most wonderful guide and shepherd - my Lord Jesus Christ. If I listen to Him and follow His lead and instructions, this experience called life can be most wonderful. Jesus knows the places that help preserve memories of wonderful times in life. If I listen, He explains the glory of this world and that which is to come. He knows where to tell me to stop and be still. He understands that times of rest are needed. I'm so thankful that my soul has the great Shepherd Who leads in paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Aren't you?

Daily Devotion: Psalm 88:1-4

Psalm 88:1-4  A Song or Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief Musician upon Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. "O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:  (2)  Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;  (3)  For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.  (4)  I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength" I've said this before and I will say it again (and probably more times before we get to the end of the Psalms) - I love the Psalms because I can surely identify with them. Most Psalms start in a low place and as the writer expresses his thoughts, the Lord begins to lift him up out of that dry place.  Though this entire Psalm is a fervent cry unto the Lord, the Psalmist tells us specifically in three verses that he cried daily unto the Lord. Just a few Psalms ago, we were reminded that God always hears our prayers. ...

Daily Devotion: Enter With Thanksgiving - Psalm 100:1-5

By
One of the most beautiful Psalms of Thanksgiving is the 100th Psalm. Please turn to it and read verses one through five. With all my heart I believe we are a people and a nation that has truly been blessed by God. Of all those who “give thanks to Him and praise His name” we should be at the top!  It is not uncommon to compile wish lists at Christmas, and draw up a list of resolutions for the new year. But there is another list we often overlook - a Thanksgiving Day list of all for which we are thankful. What would your list contain? Most likely, a good part would be material possessions. I’m convinced that we would find that we have much more for which to be thankful than just our material possessions.  Like you, I’m sure my list would include the major things - life, health, family, friends, and the nation we live in, despite all its flaws. But even more than that, I’m thankful for my salvation, my Church family, and the mercy that God showers upon us each d...
