The Book of Job is both confusing and difficult to understand. It confronts the problem of pain & suffering while also painting a picture of an awesome and formidable God who we will never fully understand. Job finds himself stuck in between the unseen heavens and the all-too-disappointing earth as he listens to counsel from his friends, only in the end to have his long-awaited audience with God. When God speaks to Job out of the storm, he doesn’t get answers from God, but he gets more than enough of God Himself. This Sunday discussed the God who is constantly working for our good, even when He is behind the scenes.
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.
