On Sunday we discussed Mary’s Magnificat, her praise song to God after she heard that she would bear God’s son. We looked at the attributes of God through her eyes: God is mindful, God is mighty, and God is merciful. We also discussed how she was validated and affirmed by her cousin Elizabeth and responded to that affirmation with this beautiful expression of love and adoration.
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.
