Theme: Jesus is your Shepherd & Rock
Scripture Reading
The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie
down in green pastures: He leads me beside the still waters. Psalms 23 :1-2
Have you ever thought about David and wondered how a
shepherd boy could become a man after God’s own heart—a
man so strong in spirit that God chose him to be king of Israel?
I have.
In fact, I asked God about it, and my take is that its,
'revelation was what turned David into such a *spiritual
powerhouse '* —revelation that came to him through hours of
thinking about the things of God. I imagine the day he wrote
the 23rd Psalm he was just sitting and singing praises to God
and meditating on His goodness amidst all his life's problems that he assumed would have killed him or led to his death.
Just fellowshiping with God,
when suddenly the Anointing of The Lord came upon him and
he said, “The Lord is my Shepherd!” he stopped worrying and chose to ➖Believe God
➖Trust God
➖Rest in God
➖Wait upon God
He then thought about the sheep he watched over as a
boy.
I faced death for those sheep. I led them where pastures
were green and waters were cool, clean, deep and peaceful.
He continued meditating until it started to thrill him. When
the lion and the bear came, didn’t God prepare a table before
me in the presence of those enemies? He gave me victory. My God! My God will fight for me.
The Lord is my Shepherd! I
shall not want!
That revelation welled up in David so strongly that the devil
couldn’t beat it out of him.
So when Goliath tried to make a fool
of Israel, David went after him.
Goliath was able to scare off
everyone else, but he couldn’t shake David because he had a
revelation inside him that said, Yea, though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for my God is
with me.
That revelation enabled David to say, “I come against
you in the Name of The Lord of Hosts” and to send a rock
sailing into that giant’s brain.
Is the devil charging at you? Do what David did.
Meditate upon God and His Word. Sing praises to your King.
Fellowship with Him until the revelation of who He is to you
starts to thrill your soul. Then tell the devil, “You’re not going
to kill me. The Lord is my Shepherd!” Hit him with the rock of revelational knowledge, and you’ll knock him flat every time.
Trust God no matter the circumstances.
