Take this day to catch up on your reading, pray, and rest in the presence of the Lord.
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.”

We read Psalm 23 this week and today’s verse is about Jesus being our Good Shepherd. “The King of Love My Shepherd Is” is my favorite Psalm 23 hymn. Michael Card has a good version on his Starkindler album.
1 The King of Love my Shepherd is,
Whose goodness faileth never.
I nothing lack if I am His,
and He is mine forever.
2 Where streams of living water flow,
my ransomed soul He leadeth;
and where the verdant pastures grow,
with food celestial feedeth.
3 Perverse and foolish, oft I strayed,
but yet in love He sought me;
and on His shoulder gently laid,
and home, rejoicing, brought me.
4 In death’s dark vale I fear no ill,
with Thee, dear Lord, beside me;
Thy rod and staff my comfort still,
Thy cross before to guide me.
5 Thou spreadst a table in my sight;
Thy unction grace bestoweth;
and oh, what transport of delight
from Thy pure chalice floweth!
6 And so through all the length of days,
Thy goodness faileth never;
Good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise
within Thy house forever.
-H. W. Baker, 1868
May this hymn help you as you meditate upon our Good Shepherd and King, Jesus Christ.
Thank you Jesus for the women here. For their wisdom and courage and love experience they so willingly share. I learn so much from this community every day. I please be with them all.
Ps. 55:22
“Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you;
he will never allow the righteous to be shaken.”
Amen and amen

All of John 10 reminds us how much we are loved by Him. Thank you Lord for Your love, sacrifice and patience.
John 10:27 “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. 30 I and My Father are one.”
TINA – please mark yesterday’s devotion and comments so that you can find them again. If you ever have a cloudy, out-of-sorts day and wonder about your impact, purpose or whether your words have an effect, you only need to look through those comments to feel the love we have for you and the thankfulness for all you’ve shared. ❤️
Amen and amen.
Waking up this morning to a new season without the wisdom, guidance and love of my second dad, whom we laid to rest yesterday, I realize reading this verse that.. It is well.
So absolutely well.
Dad did his bit, here on earth, but the Heavenly Father, He is the main stay. He is here with us no matter what.. He was here with my dad. My second dad. His dad. Grandads dad and the generations before..and he will be with the generations to come.. being the good shepherd, the guide who leads us along the right path, who leads us to quite pools of water for refreshing.. who walks beside us protecting in the storms of life that come.. those that threaten to ‘derail’ us .. to those that take our breathe away..
It is well.
It is well.
Because the words of my heart and my mantra say..
BUT GOD..
AMEN.
BUT GOD..
AMEN.
Never changing ever faithful God.. He is here..
It is well.
Thank you God. Thank you.
I love you guys.. ❤
Happy Saturday, every minute of it wrapped so loving in hugs and prayers ❤
