Covering Package
I love it when I purchase something that comes with extra accessories added in at no extra charge. This usually happens during peak selling seasons and feels like a benefit for sure. For example, if I buy a certain kind of cologne at a certain time, I might get a small lotion or a toiletry bag in the package.
As I read Psalm 23 this morning, I realized that the Presence of the Lord is a package deal. His Presence covers ever area of my life – not just my spiritual, “church-going” side of life. He is present with me all the time and everywhere I go. This very famous passage spoke volumes to me again about His Presence in my life. Check this out…
1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever. (Psalm 23:1-6 NIV)
I will not stress. I will not worry. I will not fear. The Lord is leading my life and directing my path. I’m the hard-headed person that needs to listen when He speaks and notice the direction He’s pointing me too. This passage feels like a soft, warm blanket on a cool morning – He has me covered for sure.
Pressing On!
