Praise the Lord! How great is our God!
The Lord took me to Psalms 23 today. A very familiar psalms that we all learn in our childhood. Well, that is if you ever attended church.
It’s amazing sometimes to see that not many people have attended church when they were children. If you were one of them, I say shame on your parents for not allowing you to know about godly things.
There is a real live God and he sent his son Jesus to die on a cross so that we might be saved from spending an eternity in hell.
Yes, there is a real hell and a real heaven. Hell was created for Satan and all of his demons, but when we (his creation) fail to choose Jesus as our Lord and Savior, hell will be our destination. God created heaven for those that have made Jesus Lord of their life. We do have a choice; it’s left up to us to make the right decision.
Well, getting back to Psalms 23, the fourth verse says, “Yea, tho I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou are with me; thy rod and they staff they comfort me.”
There have been times in my life that I have faced death. I’m a mother and I’ve heard it said that when a mother is in childbirth that she literally faces death’s door, but because she wants her baby so much, she is willing to face whatever she has to. No wonder a real mother loves her children so.
When the COVID virus came, many of us faced death and some very close to us died. But the Lord was with us. He said that he would never leave us or forsake us. While we were facing all those things the Lord used his rod and staff to comfort us.
You may ask how can a rod comfort us? A rod means authority, but it also means correction; yes, it is used to correct us. We should never get to the place where we don’t need correction in our lives. We can be sincere about many things but be sincerely wrong.
You may think I’m crazy but I have to thank God for the COVID; it changed me. Yes, I already loved God but now I love him more. The devil meant it for evil, but God meant it for good.
Romans 8:28 says, “All things work together for good to them that love the Lord and are called according to his purpose.” Praise the Lord!
