The Lord is My Shepherd


Psalm 23: 5 ESV
“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.”

It is my heart’s desire to read and understand God’s Word that it will become alive within me and that I am able to share my knowledge with others.
Starting with the first verse we notice that the Lord is showing us our possession as well as our provision. It is amazing to see how King David describes these two important facts.

In times of difficulty we need to find peace and in the second verse King David reminds us of the peace and God is giving us. We are pardoned by God when King David reminds us that God restores our soul leading us on the paths of righteousness for His Namesake. Awesome!

Even when we face divesting circumstance we know we are partnered up with the Lord and that we do not have to fear no evil, because our partner God is with us.
We see how God is preparing a table before us in the presence of our enemies, anointing our head with oil and our cups running over. No wonder King David broke out in praising God for His goodness towards us.

Reminding us that we are heading for paradise and that we will live in the presence of our LORD God Almighty!

Prayer

Heavenly Father as we think about our lives please Lord give us the necessary wisdom and understanding to read You Word and let it become a living word in our lives today. In the Holy Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen

2nd Wedding Anniversary!

Hey, hey it is my 2 nd anniversary!   This has been an interesting time in my life and I must be honest I am starting to see the changes in my own life.    Firstly remember I am a city girl with this bad ass attitude, my way or the highway.   Ah, now let me tell you that doesn’t work like this.   My husband has a firm hand over me and keeps me in toe.   I am still my own person and have many new interests.    How was my day today?   Well the normal, got out of bed at 04h30 and then left the house by 06h00 arriving at work at 07h00.   Then to top it off in an early morning meeting at 07h30 to 08h30, then back in the office.   I worked on three projects; getting information from people isn’t that easy.   I firstly completed my own scope of work, followed up with the suppliers and then going back to the next person.   As I work according to my time keeping schedule I then finally got to lunch time.   I...

Wisdom in Trusting God

Proverbs 3: 5-6 NIV “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” My journey has been really interesting and there are days when I find it really difficult to trust in God.  On those days I go and make all kinds of plans and I think and worry about the matter at hand and at the end of that day I am tired, frustrated and I feel sick to my stomach.  Are you able to relate?   It sounds so easy when you read these words “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;”  Many times I take my problems to the LORD and I leave them with the LORD and after some serious thinking and worrying I go back to the LORD and take the problems back. This has been something I did for a number of years and lately, I have realized it has to change, I have to trust in the LORD.  After all, God is the creator and knows the plans for...
