"The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing". Psalm 23:1 This is probably one of the first prayers that every child learns when first being taught about God. But as an adult I see the depth of the power and promise in this first verse. People go day by day reciting all the things they want or need. Whether it be more money, a job, a husband, you name it and yet the bible tells us clearly that we lack nothing in the presence of Him. I remember years ago reading in the NIV life application section that we are to embrace wherever we are in life. If we are married, we are to embrace it and not long to be single and vice versa. Yet so many of us do just that. Those that are blessed to be employed and yet complain about their jobs fail to see that they lack nothing. The Lord's grace is sufficient. It is written and what the bible says is true so then why do we get so caught up in our circumstances? I truly believe that if more people took the time to read the bible and meditate on God's word through scriptures that the pharmaceutical business would go under. People suffering from anxiety and depression would no longer feel hopeless but hopeful. They would know that their battles that seem impossible are indeed possible with God. Don't you see it? I encourage you to ask the Lord for guidance as you open your bibles the old fashioned way or high tech way and allow Him to speak to you and comfort you in whatever you face. Allow Him to use you to spread this message to others that are in need. Remind them that they lack nothing with God. Amen?!
Psalm 23
