Our time together Sunday was devoted to something intensely practical and relatable. The Apostle Paul encouraged the Philippians to stop complaining and arguing. Why? First, for their own sakes. God never designed us to whine and complain. Second, for the sake of others. It absolutely kills our witness when we mutter and grumble in front of others. Third, for the sake of the spiritual leaders God has put in our lives. We honor them by our Christlike behavior.
The Lord is My Shepherd
What does it mean for the Lord to be our Shepherd? According to David in Psalm 23, it means that we shall never be in want of anything. We will be made to slow down, quiet down, and sit down. Our souls will be restored and whole, like they were designed to be from the beginning. We shall not fear evil or death – no matter what we’re facing. Many of us know the Psalm… Let’s make sure we know the Shepherd.
