“So this morning I had seen a post and the preacher was talking about Psalm 23 and he says for the most part we only really hear about or talk about it around someones funeral..Amen..and he says well that’s great but I think we need to talk about it while we are living..Amen..because I think if not we will miss something from what the Lord is trying to say to us..Amen..he says because I think it could change our days in which we are living..Amen..for he goes on to saying well let’s take a look at it..and it says that the Lord leads us in paths of righteousness..and so that means that He is ahead of us..and it goes on to saying that we are comforted by His rod and staff..which is a sign and symbol of protection..Amen..the staff shows His love and kindness and that He uses that to fight off the enemy..so the Lord’s rod and staff are on the sides of us..Amen..it goes on to saying that He the Lord anoints our head with oil..our cups overflow..which is His joy..so the Lord is over top of us with His joy..Praise the Lord..and then he goes on to saying that the Lord’s goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives..so He the Lord is behind us following us with His goodness and mercy..and the preacher goes on to saying now don’t miss this..so the Lord is leading us in the front in paths of righteousness..and He the Lord is the left and right of us with His strength and protection which is His rod and staff..He is over us with His oil..which is His joy..Amen..and He is behind us following us with His goodness and mercy..so we end it up by this thought..how do we walk through the valley of the shadow of death and fear no evil?..well, its because He the Lord is ALL around us..leading us..guiding us..protecting us..filling us up with His joy..Psalm 23:1-6..Amen!”

“So today this very day I do pray that none of us ever forget that God our Father is with us..and that He is the Good Shepherd..that He never leaves us..and He is always for us..fighting for us..comforting us..leading us..meeting the very needs that we have..Amen..so let us not forget Psalm 23 as we all go about our day..for the Lord is the one that protects us..always..I love the song that says this..Lord I am thankful for all those things that I cannot see..for You’ve been a shelter in the storms of life..and a shield surrounding me..and Lord I am thankful for all the mercy that you have provided..I know that You could have walked away..but You stayed a thousand times..Amazing Grace..how sweet the sound..I once was lost..but now I am found..a hopeless case..I would be an empty place..if not for grace..Amen..so the Lord gives us protection..we have a guardian angel that is with us..Psalm 91:11..Amen..we have the Lord on our side..so wherever you are my friend in life know this..that God is fighting for you..He has a plan for you..a plan to give you hope and a future..Jeremiah 29:11..for we are His and He is ours..we are the apple of the Lord’s eyes..Zechariah 2:8..Amen..so know who you are always..and know that you are a child of God..and no weapon formed against you will ever prosper..Isaiah 54:17..not ever..Amen..for He is just a whisper away..He is very present help in our times of need..Psalm 46:1-2..so we call on Jesus with our lives..we call on the Lord to give Him thanks..and we walk in confidence knowing that God is on our side..that we can go through the valley because the Lord our God is there with us..Amen..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤
