Psalm 23

June 27, 2022

Thank you for smiling on me. Today is a work day, though I feel like just relaxing and taking it easy. But I am going to work and work. Thank you for waking me up and for your grace and love. For your favour. And todayyyyy we book the place for the retreat! Happy dance! I am so thankful. Thank you and thank you again. 

It’s almost the end of another month. Month six. A month of major adjustments where I had to change the way I was operating before. I had to adapt. Some days I am beyond excited with what you are doing in my life and what is being planned and other days petrified. I mentioned to Steph that we often classify life as hills and valleys, but it truly isn’t. Then life would be a constant roller coaster and most of us would not survive for long. But there are those periods of plains and plateaus. I’m not sure which one I am on right now. Probably a plain. But you know what? I am thankful. Because you have it under your control and while it is easy to think that because you have it under control that means I don’t have anything to do, that would be a lie. We are still your hands and feet. 

Thank you for who you are and for this new day. I hope that, scratch that I pray that as I go through today that I will remember to actively seek you. Your guidance. Today is a financial paperwork day. Lol. Never really a fun day, but a necessary day. Help me to work according to your will. 

I pray for the department, that all we do and say will be according to your will. That we would work as unto you and not unto man. Let this mind be in us which is also in you. Thank you for your provision in my life and in the life of those around me. Yahweh, I pray for “the men.” That each day they would choose to honour you and to live for you. Thank you for who you are and how you have worked in our lives. 

Isaiah 41:13 – I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand and say to you, ‘Don’t be afraid; I will help you.’

Thank you for being THE God that will hold our hands and help us. Thank you for being personal and for coming close and holding my hand. Not gonna lie, kinda wish I could feel it in the physical. It’s been a long time, six months long since I’ve held someone’s hands in the physical. Kinda sad, but I’m not going to dwell on it because you are holding my hand in the spiritual and in the appointed time, I will also hold hands in the physical. Thank you for being here with me and guiding me. Thank you for smiling on me and making me smile. 

Psalm 23:1-6 (KJV) –

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

This chapter has been pressing hard on my thoughts since last week and it has been repeated almost everyday in some form.
