MY LORD GOD IS SOVEREIGN KING AND SHEPHERD

MY LORD GOD IS SOVEREIGN KING AND SHEPHERD

For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods.  In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him.  The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land.  Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care. —Psalm 95:3-7

            Our Lord God is great and is above all authorities.  “The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it” (Psalm 24:1).  So, “let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care.” 

            How fortunate that we are His “sheep.”

“The Lord (Jesus) is my shepherd, I lack nothing.  He (Jesus) makes me lie down in green pastures, he (Jesus) leads me beside quiet waters, he (Jesus) refreshes my soul.  He (Jesus) guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.  Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you (Jesus) are with me; your (Jesus’) rod and your (Jesus’) staff, they comfort me.  You (Jesus) prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.  You (Jesus) anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.  Surely your (Jesus’) goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord (Jesus) forever.” —Psalm 23

            How fortunate we are, brothers and sisters, fellow followers of Jesus, to be His “sheep.”  May we honor Him as our Almighty Lord, King and Shepherd!  Yes, Dear Father, may this be so by the power of Your Holy Spirit and in the authority of Your Son Jesus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsPAtyS2iq4
