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: Psalm 100:1-5

Psalm 100:1-5   A Psalm of praise. "Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.  (2)  Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.  (3)  Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.  (4)  Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.  (5)  For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations." "Know ye that the LORD he is God." As I read the 100th Psalm this morning, this verse seems to be the hinge upon which all the other verses are settled. Know ye that the LORD he IS God. Jesus prayed in His intercessory prayer, "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." (John 17:3) We read in the book of Hebrews chapter 11:6, "... he that cometh to God must believ...
