Time:  about 1000 B.C. Place:  Jerusalem

Golden Text:  “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want (Psalm 23:1).

The Psalmist here claims relation to God, as his shepherd. He recounts his experience of the kind things God has done for him as his shepherd. He expresses his faith in God as the shepherd that keeps a continual watch over His sheep. Therefore, he has no need to fear no evil, God’s goodness continues to supply all of his needs. For some reason, this Scripture has been used for eulogies but in reality,  it’s for the living and not the deceased. Read More

It’s Time To Pray

Great and mighty God, God of holiness, God of righteousness. The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world, and they that dwell therein. The God of time, the God of greatness, the God of majestic, the God of all power, long-suffering, and merciful. We come before You with hearts of repentance. We repent for ourselves and for everyone that has sinned against You. Forgive us for our disobedience, forgive us for slothfulness in prayer and studying Your Word. Forgive us for not loving and being kind to one another as You have commanded. As we come before You today, we yield every part of our being to You. We will present ourselves as a living sacrifice to You. We will put on the garment of praise; we will place our trust and our confidence in You and Your Word. Read More
