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...

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...
